WINE DESCRIPTION

Amici Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by Amici Cellars, located in Napa Valley, California. A complex blend of grapes is used to make this wine, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon supported by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc in varying proportions depending on the vintage. The grapes are sourced from some of the best vineyards in the region, which are known for their warm growing conditions. The winemaking process involves more than 1 year of aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, balanced by firm tannins and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the classic, opulent Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon style.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Amici Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust red wine with aromas of black cherry, tobacco, and cedar.On the palate, the wine is full body with firm tannins with a slight chalky edge. Long aging in oak adds toasty, chocolate complexity. The finish is long and smooth with the tannins wrapped up in the lush fruit. This is an excellent example of a classic California Cabernet Sauvignon. It will improve for 5 years at hold a peak for a further 3 years.
