David Arthur, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Nov 24, 2020

By Miranda Franco

 The 2016 Three Acre Cabernet Sauvignon (with a small amount of Petit Verdot) is a beautiful expression of Pritchard Hill Cabernet.  This is an elegant wine with exceptional integrity and purity of fruit, finesse, and over-all balance.  This release reveals notes and flavors of blackberry, black currant, plum, cedar, pipe tobacco, lilac, and dusty herbs.  The palate is stunning, powerful but fresh, lushly fruited, and nuanced with a superb compact finish that lingers effortlessly.  While this is utterly delicious now, it will reward after another year or two of cellaring.
