"A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Counterpart begins with open and lively red fruits that frame the wine with notes of red plum, mineral-driven dark cherry aromas and nuanced baking spices from the oak. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the wine is well-structured and balanced, effortlessly gliding across the mid-palate with layers of complexity. It ends with a long, contemplative finish, with waning red fruit flavors on the aftertaste. This is good juice for the price. Only 225 cases were produced."

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.
