The nose is strong and elegant, with blackberry and cedar in the front and sandalwood and cassis in the back of the aroma. This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon palate from Napa, with a real mouthful of blackberry fruit and intense polished tannins. Very dense and young, the tight layering will unfold over time and reward those who hold it with a graceful, rich, and complex wine.
