Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Altvs /
An individualistic, some would say eccentric wine, made from grapes grown all over the valley. Your first impression is of jammy sweetness: blackberries, cherries, raspberries, oak. Then the tannins kick in, bringing needed dryness. Shows the ripeness of Napa Valley Cabernet, but doesn’t seem like an ager. Drink now–2014.
