Tasting Notes
Brimming with sweet black fruits, anise and chocolate truffle, this classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is polished and pleasing. Incredibly smooth on the palate, this Cabernet has notes of cherry cola, supported by French roast coffee and chocolate. Soft, well-balanced tannins extend the long and lingering finish.
