Tasting note
Expect the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to open with blackcurrant, cassis and a hint of dried herbs, followed by a broad, dark-fruited palate. Firm tannins should give the wine a measured frame, while fresh acidity keeps the weight composed rather than heavy. The 2023 vintage is at the beginning of its listed window in 2026, with a fuller stretch expected from 2028 through 2033 and a finish that should stay savory and persistent.
