This Napa Valley Cabernet opens with dark fruit aromas of blackberry and black cherry, accented by peppercorn, nutmeg, and a subtle touch of cardamom, with a hint of leather adding complexity. The palate is balanced and well structured, defined by silky yet firmly present tannins. Juicy black raspberry flavors and toasty oak carry through the mid-palate and extend into a long, smooth, polished finish.
