WINE DESCRIPTION
Sixteen by Twenty Cabernet Sauvignon is an impressive, powerfully structured wine with dark glossy fruit. The fruit is sourced from the Southern & Central Napa coming from both the valley floor and hillside. The exact blend varies from year to year with Merlot often added to contribute flesh and plummy fruit and softness to the muscular Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker and consultant Paul Hobbs, famed for his stints at Robert Mondavi Winery and Opus One oversees the winemaking here.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Sixteen by Twenty Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and full-bodied red wine with a deep ruby color.This wine offers an enticing nose of glossy blackcurrants, blackberries, and hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it delivers rich and concentrated black fruit flavors that are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a plush texture and a luxurious mouthfeel.
