As you sip, the palate is enveloped in a luxurious texture showcasing layers of juicy red and black fruits, complemented by subtle notes of spices, tobacco, and leather. The tannins are finely grained, giving the wine a solid structure, yet they meld seamlessly, allowing for a finish that is both long-lasting and graceful. This wine is a delightful companion to robust dishes, be it grilled meats or flavorful pasta, and exhibits the elegance and complexity synonymous with Napa Valley reds.
