Made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and with roughly 50% new oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Select has a very deep garnet-purple color and explodes from the glass with pronounced, well-defined notes of blackcurrant cordial, baked black plums, blueberry pie and black cherry preserves plus touches of cedar chest, camphor, dark chocolate and star anise with a hint of pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate is no shrinking violet, giving up bags of expressive black fruit and a firm level of finely grained tannins, finishing on a lingering menthol note. 648 cases produced.
