WINE NOTES

Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a fragrant, complex bouquet of ripe blackberry and boysenberry complemented by notes of dark chocolate and toasty oak. Rich and smooth on the palate, the sumptuous dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and lush tannins with a lingering, elegant finish and a hint minerality. Enjoy this wine now, with everything from filet mignon to fire-roasted Portobello mushrooms—or lay the wine down and watch it continue to develop complexity in the bottle for years to come." - Cakebread Cellars
