Elegant and inviting, the 2009 vintage presents a dark ruby color with aromas of raspberry and crushed violets…. Subtle hints of fresh bay add eyebrow-raising complexity to this artisan-crafted wine. The silky palate texture – continuous and seamless – marries well with the flavors of ripe cherry, briary blackberry, anise and baker’s spice.

This is the type of wine that has made Napa synonymous with outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon since the 1970’s. One of the leading players in this movement towards quality farming for grapes of distinction has been Mario Bazan. The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon we offer in his name is like the man himself - soft spoken with a vibrant character and inspiring longevity.
