Tasting notes
Lots of dark-berry, terracotta and tile aromas follow through to a full body, with chewy tannins that are juicy and flavorful. Bright and fruity. Nice layers and savoriness. Balsamic. Drink or hold.

Moving to the reds, and the first time they’ve made a Napa Valley blend, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes mostly from mountain terroirs and is a rich, nicely structured 2016 that has plenty of black cherry and blackberry fruit, notes of roasted herbs, licorice, and camphor, good acidity, and the depth and balance to evolve for 15 years or more.
The vineyards used in the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley are from Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain and Soda Canyon. Every vine is planted on a very steep hillside, so in many respects this is a pure hillside Cabernet. Deep garnet-purple, it's simply gorgeous on the nose with cassis, black cherries, blueberries and spice box with nuances of roses, violets and chocolate box. The palate is full-bodied, rich, spicy, plush and expressive, finishing very long.
