This is made from a blend of vineyards, and includes 16% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Savory earth, cedar and pencil shavings accent a juicy midpalate of black cherry, mocha and black currant, with supple, silky tannins wrapping around the palate and adding structure.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is soft, open-knit and forward, making it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, plum, tobacco, spice and cedar all meld together in a creamy, resonant Cabernet that has so much to offer. The Napa Valley is a real overachiever in this vintage.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is charming, with plenty of cassis and spicy notes intermixed with classic spice and dried herb-like aromas and flavors. It's easygoing and medium-bodied, with sweet fruit and loads of character. I'd happily drink bottles over the coming decade or so.

Warm in feel, with steeped plum and cherry fruit flavors gliding through, lined with gentle vanilla and herb notes on the lightly toasted finish. Drink now through 2023. 1,125 cases made.
