"Dark red-ruby. Briary red and darker berries, spices, licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha on the nose. Juicy and savory on the palate, with berry flavors complicated by notes of black olive and wild herbs. A very nicely balanced second wine with a fine-grained texture, good energy and early accessibility. A line of bitter chocolate oak extends from entry to aftertaste."

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.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
