"Bright medium ruby. Cassis, blackberry, graphite, mint, dark chocolate and licorice on the nose, with a slightly jammy quality emerging with aeration. Sweet, silky and gently concentrated, with a pliant texture and lovely depth to the berry, mint and chocolate flavors. Rich and impeccably balanced, with nothing forced about it. This sweet, graceful wine spreads out to coat the palate without communicating any undue weight. The tannins are at once fine-grained and firm."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
