" The nose is deep, pure and simply brilliant, as it offers up notes of black cherries, sweet cassis, a touch of summer truffle, sweet pipe tobacco, delicate undertones of eucalyptus, coffee and a lovely base of soil. Interestingly, I left a bit of this wine in the glass over a couple of hours, and rather than fade, it developed additional aromatic notes of tangy raspberries and a violet topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, à point, and very pure, with fine mid-palate depth, impeccable balance and focus and a very long, complex and very intensely flavored finish."

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.
