2008 Napa Valley Cabernet 750 mL

Description

Our 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex and layered expression of California Cabernet.  The wine has a dark garnet color and is bursting with fruit even as it is poured.  It has a nose of cassis, violets, licorice, allspice and roasting coffee.  On the palate, it has an extraordinarily rich attack, a satin texture and an exuberant expression of fruit on the mid-palate that comes from picking grapes at the peak of their ripeness.  The wine finishes with notions of savory umami and fruit with a medium tannic grip. Given proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2032.
