A decently priced Napa Cabernet that you can drink now or add to your cellar. It shows sweet, ripe, red fruit, cassis and leather aromas with pencil shavings, minerals and fresh earthy notes. On the palate it's juicy and smooth with tobacco and cocoa, smoked spices and lingering coffee flavours on the finish. It's lifted acidity and fine tannins will pair nicely with hard cheeses or lamb dishes.
