Winemaker Darice Spinelli’s deft hand with Cabernet Sauvignon is in evidence, as is the quality of the fruit off of this Rutherford district vineyard. The nose exhibits a hint of violet, and on the palate this wine delivers aromas of blueberry, blackberry and currants, with ultra-smooth tannins that create a scintillating tactile sensation. It is quite simply an awesome example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at its finest.
