Vineyard: Carrefoure Vineyard & Ink Grade Vineyard

Region: Napa Valley

Alcohol %: 14.7%

Wine Notes: This collectable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon first tempts with an outstanding nose – rich and robust with dark fruit aromatics. The taste buds are then met with full-bodied blackberry and black currant lavors, and a hint of tasty oak. The finish is smooth and long, accented by sweet vanilla notes. A classic wine.
