Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, $20

A beautiful cab, soft and luscious with style and balance. This blend includes Merlot to help tame tannins, Petit Verdot for fruity depth and Cabernet Franc for additional aromatic complexity. Blackberry, cassis, coffee and mocha framed by smoky oak flavors create a smooth, mellow mouth-feel. beautiful now, and should hold well for six years.
