Tasting Notes: Deep ruby-purple in color, this rich and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon offers enticing aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, black plum, and Bing cherry, complemented by notes of graphite, dark chocolate, and cacao. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, delivering layers of ripe dark fruit, cassis, and chocolate. Juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins provide excellent balance and structure. The finish is long, powerful, and polished, showcasing the richness and elegance of classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Notes: Crafted from handpicked grapes grown throughout Napa Valley, with a significant portion sourced from the prestigious Rutherford area. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before undergoing native yeast fermentation in closed-top vats, with 28 days of skin contact to develop color, flavor, and structure. The wine is then gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels, including 30% new oak, for malolactic fermentation and 18 months of aging. The result is a beautifully structured Cabernet Sauvignon offering remarkable depth, concentration, and sophistication.
Food Pairing: An excellent companion to grilled ribeye steak, filet mignon, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, and hearty beef dishes. Its concentrated fruit and refined tannins also pair beautifully with wild mushroom risotto, grilled portobello mushrooms, and aged cheeses such as Cheddar, Gouda, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Perfect for special occasions or an elegant steak dinner.
