Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Reflective of a long, warm growing season, the wine shows the depth and length of fruit that is fully mature with ripe tannins. It is full-bodied, meant to be cellared for up to 8-10 years. Due to its youthful tannins, it takes about an hour in the glass before it shows itself. When it does, the wine displays a rich array of aromas, from vanilla and cinnamon to powdered cocoa, tobacco, and blackberry jam. Big, mouth filling tannins wrap fairly tightly around a center palate of cassis, black cherry, plum, and raspberry. Decanting is, as usual, the key to unlocking the wine’s complex flavors.
