Napa Cabernet perfection with silken tannins and remarkable aging potential.
The 2016 Special Selection opens with intoxicating aromas of crushed blackcurrant and cedar shavings, leading to a palate that seamlessly weaves concentrated dark fruit with mocha and tobacco leaf nuances. Those signature velvety tannins provide structural elegance without overwhelming the wine's natural power. The finish extends gracefully, revealing layers of espresso bean and graphite minerality that promise exceptional development through 2035.
🍷 You're celebrating a milestone achievement and want a Napa Cabernet that exemplifies both power and sophistication.
Pairs with: Dry-aged ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with dark cherry reduction, Aged manchego with honeycomb, Dark chocolate tart with espresso
