(at Decanter's tasting suite, 14 Dec 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023
A blend of various sites in the Napa Valley, this Cab has a delightfully savoury nose of autumnal mulch, coffee bean, red and black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant. The palate is quite textured and vibrant, contrasting the savoury aromatics with a lovely ripeness that balances well with the elegant acidity. There are flavours of violets, cherry, blackcurrant, menthol and dried herbs, with great length and a touch of warmth on the finish.
