Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon

Tenma vineyard on an alluvial fan in Jericho Canyon in northeastern Calistoga produces Cabernet Sauvignon wines of deep color and intensity. The rocky terrain here is well-drained with a very sparse topsoil which is a perfect combination for growing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon when combined with the climate of Napa Valley. Once in the glass this 2017 Clos Pegase Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon releases lush aromatics of blackberries blueberries and coconut. As the wine breaths more subtle notes of cedar dried herbs and espresso bean begin to emerge. Rich and bold on the palate the tannins drive the finish balanced by a core of dark fruit. The acid sits on the back of the palate coming through towards the finish helping the flavors evolve as the pleasure of sipping continues.
