V. Sattui Winery, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

 This vineyard is a new one on me, but V. Sattui is certainly no stranger.  The result of the merger between vineyard and winery is nothing less than spectacular.  This stunning Cabernet Sauvignon (98 percent with 2 percent Petit Verdot) shows ripe cassis and spice on the nose, is impressively layered and dense on the palate, with remarkable length through the finish.  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
