Nick's Pick for classic Cabernet and popular cellar gem!

Big, rich and ripe berry fruit components to this Cabernet with subtle coconut husk and more prevalent chocolate components. Loaded with black cherry and tobacco leaf on the body. It is ever so slightly tight on the finish, making it an excellent candidate for our Vinturi Aerator's in its youth. The finish lengthens significantly as you let it breath. One cannot help but look forward to the Special Select as well with this wonderful introduction to 2007 Napa Cabernet!
