Napa Valley

Cork

Ripe and seductive nose - strawberry jam with sunkissed blueberries, blackberries, menthol notes, aniseed and cinnamon alongside herbal touches and bright fresh floral scents. This is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc is smooth and direct, a lovely weight in the mouth with a flawless texture - tannins are integrated and this has so much energy with bite and a cola tang around the edges. Balanced acidity, not so succulent, more full bodied with the high alcohol (15.7%) masking some of the freshness, but this is balanced and all in line with a spicy, peppery, herbal ending. Nuanced, delicate and finessed - a delicious bottle from winemaker Luc Morlet.
