ALTWINES

Napa, California

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

70% new oak

Enticing bright red fruits combine with layers of mocha, graphite, bay leaves, and wild sage. Secondary notes of exotic spices, black pepper, and cassis emerge with time in the glass. On the palate, the wine balances luscious fruit with the characteristic gravelly texture of the estate, balancing the fine line between opulence and restraint. It's delicious to drink now and sure to gain additional nuance through cellaring.
