Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is gorgeous. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, and leather are all front and center in this lush, voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink it over the next decade.

Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (containing splashes of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) opens with expressive crushed plums, mulberries and cassis with touches of dark chocolate, baking spice and black soil. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with approachable, spicy black fruit, framed by grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long with a pleasant herbal lift. 5,899 cases were made.
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is soft, juicy and accessible, with plenty of inky blue/purplish fruit and medium bodied structure. Unctuous and racy, the 2015 should drink well with minimal cellaring. This is a gorgeous wine with considerable appeal and the potential to be an overachiever.
