"The 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a heady, perfumed bouquet of blackberry jam, lavender stem, and a distinct note of anise, underpinned by hints of pencil case, nutmeg, and salt block for added intrigue. Vanilla and subtle licorice thread through the nose, setting the stage for a palate that bursts with ripe berry compote and raspberry cordial. The mouthfeel is luxuriously plush, with layers of fresh-ground coffee, cinnamon, and vanillin giving dimension. The tannin profile is fine, firm with opulent texture, lending immediate approachability while promising graceful development with age. This is a richly composed Cabernet—complex, deliciously ripe and balanced, offering both satisfaction now and longevity for the cellar."
