Wine Advocate

Composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Sirah, 4% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Zinfandel and 2% Petite Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa rocks up with open-knit, expressive notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie and boysenberries plus touches of eucalyptus, dried bay leaves and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of juicy black fruits and grainy tannins with lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering minty note. 40,000 cases were made.
