The Napa Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a treasure trove of aromas and flavors. Brilliant ruby in the glass, aromas of dark cherries, black currant, elderberry, and mint waft to the nose with intriguing notes of eucalyptus and sea salt. The palate is alluring and rich, with sun-ripened blackberry, boysenberry, slate, and lush cocoa. The tannins are nicely integrated, and the persistent finish smacks of dried herb and clove.

The grapes for this red wine were selected from a number of premium Napa Valley vineyards, including the Saint Helena, Atlas Peak, and Rutherford appellations.
