Monticello Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvee

TASTING NOTES Winemaker Chris Corley I find dark luscious aromas of boysenberry blackberry and anise with tones of lightly toasted oak and hints of vanilla. The lighter tones from the barrels are a nice balance to the dark tones of the wine. On the palate the wine is rich in texture with a full-bodied mid-palate. The moderate tannins frame the wine very nicely as it enters a very long lingering finish. Drink now through 2042. FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTION Braised Beef Brisket with Creamed Horseradish SERVING & CELLARING We suggest decanting 30-60 minutes prior to serving. VINEYARDS VINTAGE & VINIFICATION At the time of this writing the 2015 vintage represents the fourth of five consecutive years of phenomenal quality wines from our vineyards and across Napa Valley. The fruit displayed great purity and intensity which translated quite well through to the finished wines. The growing season was relatively consistent with no major heat spikes Our Cabernet Sauvignon vine
