Winemaker's Notes:

 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 0.5% Merlot, 0.25% Cabernet Franc, 0.6% Petite Verdot, 4% Petite Sirah.

The Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a deep garnet, color with intense aromas of cedary oak, currents and black cherries. Concentrated flavors of ripe plums, chocolate and tobacco marry perfectly with the oak nuances. A well structured wine that is balanced with firm, velvety tannins that culminate in a long, elegant finish. This wine is ready to enjoy now or can be aged 3-5 years.
