Napa Valley 2019

Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

$38.40 CLUB

With this bottling, the jammy character of Yountville Ranch Cabernet takes center stage, rounded out by Rockerbox Vineyard’s black currant tones and the beautiful aromatics of Hopper House fruit. Look for aromas of sweet hay, cherry, graphite and baking spices leading to a lush, juicy palate of ripe, round blackberry jam and cherry flavors with chewy tannins on a long finish.
