Description

Here is a trio of fine Napa Cabs.


Mira 2018 Napa Valley Hyde Vineyard Cabernet Franc
When grown in a cooler climate like Carneros, Cabernet Franc shows vibrant red berries, cassis and purple lilac characters along with signature earthy gravel undertones. Concentrated dark fruit tones on the palate are further nuanced by notes of mocha, cedar and bay leaf.


Mason 2020 Napa Valley Pelissa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Rich, rounded and complete without going over the top in ripeness, this full-bodied wine is generous in black cherries, dried plums and dark-chocolate.


Whitehall Lane 2020 Leonardini Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This 2020 Leonardini Estate wine is pure Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It begins on the nose bursting with fragrant black cherries, mixed berry jam, crème de cassis, blueberries, caramel, and a hint of blackberry tartlet. Its balance and mid-palate are most notable, providing smooth, plush tannins alongside its dense fruit character. On the palate, it delivers raspberry Chambord, red currants, brown sugar, almond croissant, and vanilla bean. The beautiful underlying tannin structure, complexity, and ample fruit will evolve over time and age gracefully for 15-20 years.
