winemaker's notes:
Classic Napa Cabernet! A consistent top seller at wine.com from a great vintage, so get it while you can. The color is a deep opaque ruby. The nose gives aromas of ripe, pure black currant (cassis) and black fruit—the characteristics we prize in Napa Valley Cabernet—with compelling notes of clove, toasted hazelnuts, and espresso-roast coffee beans. Subtle secondary notes of vanilla and toasty oak then fold in. The taste is a core of deeply extracted, lush berry fruit underpins the wine during its evolution in the mouth as other flavor layers emerge: bittersweet cocoa, creamy vanilla, cedar and a light touch of mint. The fruit and oak tannins are beautifully knit, reinforcing the overall impression of sweetness. The finish is long and deeply flavored, carrying through the layers of berry and spice notes predicted in the aromas.
critical acclaim:
"Packs in lots of ripe, rich, complex Cabernet flavors, gushing with ripe currant, plum and wild berry, turning spicy and revealing pretty oak and herb shadings as well. Long, smooth aftertaste."

Wine Spectator
"Smooth, sleek texture supports this balanced wine, redolent of blackberry, black currant, licorice, toast and herbs. On the finish, it’s plush, long and well crafted, ending with a bright cedary note."
