Flavor Profile

A powerhouse Napa Cabernet that marries intensity with surprising finesse.
The nose opens with layers of ripe blackberry compote and dark chocolate ganache, followed by hints of cedar and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, this wine delivers serious weight without sacrificing elegance—concentrated cassis flavors meld seamlessly with vanilla-tinged oak. The tannins remain structured yet approachable, leading to a finish that lingers with espresso and dark fruit notes. This 2000 vintage has reached beautiful drinking maturity while retaining excellent aging potential through 2015.
🍷 You want to impress at a dinner party with a Napa Cabernet that perfectly balances power and sophistication.
Pairs with: Grilled ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with mushrooms, Aged cheddar and dark chocolate, Wild game with juniper berries
