This was bottled and released to celebrate the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl appearance (and victory). Los Carneros is Spanish for The Ram. This is a cooler climate than much of Napa and while the area is not know for Cabernet, this one is a very nice example of a cooler climate Cab. Unfiltered and unfined. Purple in color, opaque and bright. Ruby at the rim. The nose is dusty with black cherries, cassis, slight rhubarb and sandalwood. Medium to full bodied. Lovely sinewy texture. Medium tannins. On the palate, nice black cherries, plums with a chalky/chocolate note. Long finish. This is drinking well now with a bit of air and should make great drinking over the next ten to twelve years. Nice on its own, this will work with bigger foods. A steak or burger off the grill would be great. 14.3% ABV.
