Tasting notes
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc . Forward, New World, opulent style. Deep, dark fruit on the nose, coffee, tar and dark chocolate. Big, plush mouthfeel, with velvety tannins and powerful flavours that match the palate. Brooding yet approachable in youth, but it will age well for three to five years, although the gigantic fruit may fade. Long, fruit-intense finish. Well made. (MD)

Dark red cherries, plums, spices, mocha and new leather are all laced together in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. Attractive floral and spice notes add sweet on the racy finish. Drink this feminine, medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon over the next few years.
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is a much more friendly, supple, fruit-forward style of wine with loads of créme de cassis, plum, licorice and spice. This opulent, full-bodied wine is certainly going to be a big hit with consumers. It is broad, savory and pretty much everything one wants in a delicious Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Bring on the grilled meats! This wine should drink well for 10-15 years.
