2000 PIÑA Cabernet Sauvignon

2000 PIÑA Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $48.00 per bottle

Description: This is a big, luscious, meaty & juicy Cabernet that demonstrates another fabulous year on Howell Mountain. The vineyard matures much later than the rest of Napa Valley, achieving a different texture to the maturity---very balanced with a big and elegant mouth feel. This wine absolutely smells of Cabernet, a very particular combination of chocolate, berries, tea and Howell Mountain spice in the nose. The wine has a long, elegant finish now with beautiful round nuances in the mid-palate. As the wine matures, that long finish will develop and even lengthen. The wine has at least a decade to reach its peak; It would suit flavorful dishes which can play off its elegance and vigor.
