Grgich Hills Estate
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot & 4% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and slight spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, warm vanilla oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and soft earthy notes, will still develop. A nice fillet mignon with mushroom gravy will go well.

Nice depth of fruit and balance with smoooth tannins. Maybe just a tad too balanced for its age to consider it great. Aboard Celebrity Eclipse.
