Cuttings 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Prisoner Wine Co.

From Prisoner Wine Company, Napa Cab that's smooth and rich. The Prisoner winemaking team works with a family of growers to source a diverse variety of grapes from premier vineyards. Grapes for this wine were sourced  from high-elevation, hillside vineyards.

Inspired by the age-old method of using cuttings from idyllic sites for the propagation of new vines, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases some of the best hillside vineyards in Napa Valley. Cuttings combines the deep, intense flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure and richness of Petite Sirah and Syrah. A small amount of Zinfandel adds a nice layer of complexity and spiciness; 80% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% new.

This Cab shows aromas of fresh roasted coffee, black currant, vanilla bean, brown spice, and wild berries. On the palate it's deliciously smooth with mouth-filling flavors of blueberry, black cherry, and cocoa. Prisoner does Cab!
