2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from top vineyards located between the Rutherford Bench and Yountville, our first red wine release shows a deep purple-ruby color with aromas of blackberry and black cherry intermixed with mocha, cassis, and spice. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate with finely integrated tannins and silky smooth texture where more ripe, juicy black fruits emerge. The finish is succulent and expansive. While this wine is a treat to enjoy in it's youth, it will continue to gain depth and richness for at least 5-7 years.
