Tasting note
Clos Pegase's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon should bring Napa Valley aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and cedar, with a herbal lift. St. Helena fruit is expected to feel ample and well defined, tannins lending a firm edge while acidity maintains freshness. Its peak lasts through 2032 and the wider drinking range closes in 2039. The finish should linger with dark berry, savory spice and a gentle earthy tone.
