A magnificently mature Napa Cabernet showing perfect oak integration and silky evolution.
After two decades, this wine has reached its sweet spot of maturity. The nose opens with concentrated blackberry preserves and dark chocolate, while vanilla oak has melded seamlessly into the fruit core. On the palate, cassis mingles with espresso notes, supported by tannins that have softened to silk yet maintain excellent structure. The finish lingers with mocha and dark fruit, showcasing the vintage's exceptional balance and aging potential.
🍷 You appreciate the artistry of perfectly aged Napa Cabernet and want to experience textbook wine evolution.
Pairs with: dry-aged ribeye with herb crust, braised short ribs with dark cherry sauce, aged Pecorino Romano, dark chocolate tart with espresso
