The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, a multi-AVA blend, is a brilliant 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 22 months in primarily new French oak. This beauty offers a dense purple color, lots of creme de cassis, licorice and forest floor notes, a youthful personality, and a quasi-Bordeaux-like tannic structure. It will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring, and should keep for two decades. It is undeniably a major sleeper of the vintage. Tel. (877) 586-9361

Pure and deftly balanced, exhibiting a complex mix of fresh-turned earth, dark berry, spice, cedar and mocha. Most interesting on the finish where the flavors weave together. Ends with grippy, fine-grained tannins. Best from 2014 through 2024. 1,283 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Napa / Napa Valley Select to Add
