Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California

88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec, 1 % Syrah
 
Deep shades of purple, and rich dark-red hues, signal that this is a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Characteristic aromas of ripe blackberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and notes of oak precede balanced acidity and firm tannins. With forward fruit, and welcome mineral undertones, this is a perfectly balanced wine that is approachable now, yet will age beautifully. The grapes from throughout the valley that were farmed to make this Bordeaux-style blend provide a natural diversity of flavors.
