Tasting notes
Deep ruby-colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a big, sexy nose of plums, lead pencil, fruit cake, and incense. Coming from the cooler Coombsville part of the valley, it's medium to full-bodied, has bright acidity, a silky texture, and rock-solid length. This classic, impeccably made Napa Cabernet will keep for 10-15 years.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (Coombsville) is plump, racy and juicy. Black cherry jam, licorice, mint, grilled herbs and sweet French oak give the wine much of its flamboyant feel. This forward, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon will be at its best over the next handful of years.
Deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an intense nose of cassis, blackberries and black cherries with hints of spice box, herbs and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is firmly structured with chewy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and cedary.
