Clos de Napa 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley

Here's an outstanding Napa Valley Cab that if we told you where the juice was sourced we'd have to charge twice the price. It's big and burly, but don't think you can't enjoy this 2016 early. The tannins are supple and round and the fruit is explosive. It's a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot aged 24 months in in French oak barrels.

This Cab has an opaque, glass-staining purple color and shows aromas of sweet fruits, black cherry, blackberries, licorice and graphite. The  mouthfeel however is soft  with  silky  tannins. More cherry and dark berry notes mingle with minerals and toasty oak. The finish is long and satisfying. The density and concentration suggests a long ageability, continuing to deliver rich, complex flavors for many years to come. Sadly it's limited but right now the price is right so grab it while you can.
