The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Frediani Vineyard has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of warm cassis, redcurrant jelly and stewed plums with hints of bay leaves, forest floor, tapenade and lavender in the background. The medium to full-bodied palate has a great intensity of black and red fruit layers with a firm, grainy backbone and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering earthy note.

The base appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is rock-solid, with lots of cassis and mulberry fruits mixed with candied flowers, spice, and vanilla-like nuances. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, with solid overall balance and ripe tannins, all making for a delicious Cabernet that's going to keep for over a decade.

Alluring aromas of dried blueberries, currants, cloves and smoked meat. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Flavorful cooked-fruit and savory character. Drink or hold.
