A harmonious Napa Cabernet that showcases classic varietal character with finesse.
The 2010 vintage opens with concentrated aromas of dark cherry compote and baking chocolate, layered with hints of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, this Cabernet delivers impressive depth without overwhelming weight. Ripe blackberry and plum flavors meld seamlessly with vanilla-tinged oak, while cocoa powder notes emerge on the mid-palate. The tannin structure provides backbone without aggressive grip, allowing the wine's natural fruit concentration to shine through. A lengthy finish reveals subtle spice notes and well-integrated alcohol. This vintage captures the essence of Napa Valley Cabernet while maintaining restraintโa wine that will reward both immediate enjoyment and careful cellaring through 2025.
๐ท You appreciate classic Napa Valley character without the overwrought intensity that plagues many regional offerings.
