Ladera continues to impress me. Here’s a properly priced Napa Valley offering with correct aromas and flavors, a bright structure, classy oak influence and a long, red fruit focused finish. It is just starting its drinking life, and poised to go 10 to 15 years easily. The elegant side of Napa Valley Cabernet that’s perfect for a seared New York Strip. Contains 4% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec.
