2019 Alta Nova Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley

Luminous crimson color. Powerful aromas of concentrated red and black cherry, cassis, cranberry, and pomegranate burst from the glass. Violets and rose petal floral notes bring an alluring invitation to this wine. Subtle green olive, anise, and peppercorn balance the assertive fruit in this wine with gorgeous savory character.

Full-bodied, but balanced. Red and briary fruit comes through right away on the palate. The texture is dazzling. Firm tannins drive the finish of this cashmere-smooth Cabernet. Perfect to drink now, although the wine will improve further over the next 3 to 5 years.
