The wine is dark and plummy with notes of crushed blackberry, blueberry, and violet on the nose. The palate is silky and bright with notes of saturated Bing cherry, classic red currant, blackberry jam, and blueberry cobbler. Secondary notes of delicate rosemary, dried cardamom, rose petal, and vanilla bean support the lively fruit, and a caramel crème note rounds out the finish with a nod to the well-integrated oak barrel aging. A lean backbone of acidity provides juicy, mouthwatering character, leading to a long and savory finish with lovely intensity and finesse, all enveloped by the rounded, polished tannins. Very drinkable upon release, exemplifying a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
