Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Full bodied, smooth and soft, with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, black pepper, dark chocolates and light herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a really nice Cabernet Sauvignon from Atlas Peak in Napa Valley. Fruit forward and spicy. Rich and elegant.
Still very young, but already delicious. A good quality wine that will continue to improve in the next 10 years.
Tangy and entertaining with nice complexity. A good sipping wine.
Nicely balanced and good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
