Deep purple color. Inviting aromas and flavors of chocolate raisins, black cherry pie, and toffee with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, engaging, medium-long finish that shows suggestions of chocolate orange peels, delicate spices, and creme brulee with silky, fine tannins and moderate oak flavor. A silky and satisfying Napa Cabernet with lots of attractive fruit and creamy chocolate-y oak in fine balance.
