A commanding Napa Cabernet that balances brute force with sophisticated restraint.
The nose opens with concentrated blackberry compote and cedar shavings, followed by darker notes of espresso grounds and bitter chocolate. On the palate, this wine delivers serious weight without losing eleganceโcassis mingles with vanilla-laced oak while maintaining firm tannins. The finish stretches impressively long, revealing hints of tobacco leaf and dusty earth. This 2006 vintage has reached beautiful drinking maturity while retaining years of aging potential.
๐ท You want a special occasion Cabernet that commands attention without overwhelming conversation.
Pairs with: Grilled ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with root vegetables, Aged cheddar and charcuterie, Dark chocolate tart with espresso
