This is a gorgeous and polished Cabernet by head winemaker Richie Allen. Grapes for this wine were sourced from the Howell Mountain, Stags Leap, Calistoga, Atlas Peak, and St. Helena AVAs. The wine was aged 18 months in 100% new French oak prior to bottling and is a blend of 85% Cabernet, 9% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. This impressive wine starts with aromas of black tea, blackberry, cassis and anise. There are rich flavors of blackberry, black tea, coffee grounds and black olive with black cherry. This is both fruit driven and balanced wine that will will age beautifully. (Best 2016-2030) - May, 2016 (OB)
