Tasting PanelThis stunning, plush red with 4% Petite Sirah aged 16 months in French and American oak. Showing a black-carmine hue, it offers up a fragrance of mocha and nutmeg. Teeth-grabbing, chalky tannins surround concentrated notes of blackberry and fennel before espresso takes charge, wrapping around a core of walnut and purple plum. As the wine opens up and softens, it reaches an elegant stage with persistent grip.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
