Classic, full bodied Napa Cabernet that doesn’t go to the overripe side, but remains complex, balanced and food friendly. There’s great depth of aroma and flavor here, with blackberry, black currants, vanilla, bay leaf and brown spice all riding together over fine grained tannins through a long finish that brings a pleasant cocoa note forward. Fantastic! A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Monterey International Wine Competition.
