Amici 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Amici / Napa Valley

This well-made wine opens in earthy compost and black licorice before unwinding a topknot of grippy tannin. Even with its power and concentration, it offers velvety mouthfeel and an expansive wave of juicy, robust acidity, particularly on the finish, making good use of smaller additions of Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot.
