Tasting notes
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner Select exudes power and intensity. The Vintner Select Cabernet seems to have handled the challenges of the growing season a bit better than the Merlot. There is good depth here, and plenty of complexity as well. Dried flowers, grilled herbs tobacco, iron and crushed leaves add aromatic savoriness to the dark fruit.

Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Select comes entirely from Napa County. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it springs from the glass with gregarious notes of baked red and black plums, warm cassis and black raspberries plus hints of dried Provence herbs, lilacs, menthol and clove oil with a waft of fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing, delivering compelling black fruit preserves with loads of red fruit sparks and a plush texture, finishing spicy. 763 cases were made.
Cut from the same cloth, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Select sports a ruby/purple hue as well as attractive black plum and red currant fruits as well as plenty of spice-box, chocolate, and dried earth. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, with solid mid-palate depth, and notable yet ripe tannins, it’s going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for over a decade.
