The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is soft, plush and inviting. Dark cherry, plum, mocha and licorice all open up in this easygoing, tasty Napa Valley Cabernet. All the elements fall into place so nicely. In fact, the appellation Cabernet is my favorite wine in the range.

Soft and supple red fruit dominates in this robustly ripe, oak-driven wine, brimming in cassis and currant. Lengthy and integrated, it delivers full-bodied intensity with richness to spare.

From Napa Valley and all Cabernet Sauvignon aged 25 months in 24% new French oak, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has a pretty, classic Cabernet nose of darker fruits, tobacco, sappy green herbs, and cedarwood. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, this beautifully done Cabernet excels in this difficult vintage.
