WINE DESCRIPTION

The Ovid "Experiment" series serves as a canvas for Ovid's winemaking team to explore innovative viticultural and winemaking techniques in their ongoing quest to craft the quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet.

It's a continuous journey of refinement and discovery for the winemakers at Ovid.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Ovid Experiment is a unique and intriguing wine that pushes the boundaries of traditional winemaking.It showcases a blend of carefully selected grape varieties, resulting in a complex and harmonious flavor profile. On the nose, the Ovid Experiment offers a bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spice and earthiness. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of oak, adding a touch of vanilla and toast. Upon tasting, this wine reveals a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors on the palate mirror the aromas, with luscious dark fruit flavors taking center stage. There is a beautiful interplay between the fruitiness and the savory elements, creating a multi-dimensional and captivating experience.
