Kelly Fleming, Calistoga (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Feb 23, 2021

By Miranda Franco

 Kelly Fleming Winery is located in the northern part of the Napa Valley, nestled in the narrow Simmons Canyon against the Vaca Mountain range’s steep hillsides.  The bouquet on the 2017 Estate Cabernet is well layered and aromatic with cherry intertwined with tobacco, cassis, and cedar.  The palate is a multi-layered ensemble of red and black cherries, black plums, dried herbs, earth, and dark chocolate.  Full-bodied and concentrated, it is incredibly focused with densely packed tannins, balanced acidity, and a long and savory finish.  Enjoy now and over the next 10 to 15 years.
