A commanding Napa Cabernet that marries power with surprising elegance.
The 2015 Special Selection opens with intense aromatics of ripe blackberry compote and dark chocolate truffle, accented by hints of cedar and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, this wine delivers remarkable concentration without heavinessโlayers of cassis and boysenberry unfold alongside vanilla-tinged oak that feels perfectly integrated rather than imposed. The tannins are substantial yet polished, providing structure without aggression. A long, espresso-laced finish reveals subtle mineral notes that speak to the vintage's exceptional balance. This wine has the backbone for two decades of cellar evolution.
๐ท You want a special occasion Cabernet that combines Napa Valley power with the sophistication to pair beautifully with fine dining.
Pairs with: Dry-aged ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with red wine reduction, Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, Dark chocolate desserts with espresso
