Mayo Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

A sweet black licorice aroma shows through the wines array of ripe plum, red currant, and minty richness, while a hint of white pepper and sweet vanilla mingle. The flavor profile follows through with a tight core of blackberry and plum flavors, abiding a touch of chocolate on the finish. This medium bodied wine covers the palate with soft tannins. We expect this Napa Valley jewel to continue to improve in the bottle as it ages for up to 5 years, yet offer hedonistic pleasures in its youth.
