Tasting Notes
Gorgeous aromas of red plum, violet and hints of cinnamon.The wine is plush in texture on the palate with a juicy core of black cherry, red plum and strawberry flavors. The tannins are very fine grained and round. The wine is red fruit dominant as just over 40 percent of the blend is sourced from Carneros, a cooler sub-region of the Napa Valley. The wine, which is 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak.
