"130 cases produced. This is noticeably riper with better aromatic complexity on the more deeply pitched, smoky and beautifully nuanced aromas that introduce the equally ripe, sweet and rich flavors . . . culminating in a masculine, firm and powerful finish that retains a fine sense of definition. This is a robust and fruit-driven wine yet one that displays ample depth and there is nothing simple about it. Moreover, given the structure and quality of the raw materials, I suspect that additional complexity is on the way with time in bottle.

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
