This stellar 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from 8 separate blocks of vines, all part of the J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley. In the words of winemaker, Celia Welch, "The wine’s aromas show off the dry, warm vintage and small crop beautifully. Intense ripe berries, dark chocolate, a whiff of toasty oak, and some deeper tones of dark vanilla, sweet earth, and roasted pecans swirl to fill the glass, changing and evolving with time. On the palate, the dark berries are joined with a slightly redder, fresher force of bing cherries and a touch of toasted anise seed. Soft and rich, this full-bodied wine lingers with all of its flavors dancing as the intensity of the finish slowly fades."
