2012 David Arthur Three Acre Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This wines color is very dark ruby and nearly opaque while offering lifted aromas of dark currant, black raspberry followed by hints of sage and lavender floral notes. There are baking spices and hints of toffee and espresso. The palate is plush yet punchy with forward style tannins yet firm and bold followed by flavors of dark cherries, chocolate and candied licorice. The finish is long and persistent with fine grained tannins.

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc
