Yountville AVA

Violet, raspberry and worn leather open over plum-toned fruit. The palate builds gradually through cumin, dark red fruit, blackcurrant and cherry, with underbrush and black tea adding savoury complexity. Supple and full-bodied yet restrained, it carries tobacco and truffle through a long, fragrant finish shaped by fine tannins and fresh balance.

Blackberry, cassis and violet lead with crushed rock, liquorice and warm spice. Dense Cabernet fruit and plum move across a finely grained palate, balanced by energetic acidity and a distinctly gravelly mineral edge. Dark chocolate, espresso, smoke and tobacco build underneath, while mature tannins carry the layered fruit through a long, resonant finish.
