Oakville has become Napa’s beacon of Cabernet greatness for good reason, and this fantastic array of fruit from the famed appellation leaves little to be desired. A Left-Bank inspired blend with Cabernet pulling almost 90% of the wagon, make no mistake that’ll have you trading your khakis for proper trousers and getting ready for a night on the Napa Valley town.

An explosive nose of ripe red currants, wild blueberries, pencil lead, pipe tobacco, and savory herbs lead into a decadent palate of sweet blackberries, spiced cherries, milk chocolate, grilled plums, and vanillin, all backed by fabulous acidity and crunchy tannins. A well-made offering whose best days are clearly ahead of it, this is the perfect remedy for your regular Cabernet doldrums. And with any luck, your palate will be wearing plaid in no time.
