Corley 2011 Proprietary Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Proprietary
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Corley / Napa Valley

Maduro cigars, cedar, beef char and pipe ash highlight the nose on this blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot from a longtime producer. It’s relatively lean and light on the palate, with black peppercorns and roasted pork elements. The Cab Franc shows strongly.
