This is a sumptuous Cabernet that displays the classic notes of cedar, cassis, black currant, and tobacco. Soft and velvety on the palate, the core of dark fruit is enhanced with hints of cigar box, clove, and baking spices. While it is immediately expressive right out of the shoot, this Cab would certainly benefit from 30 minutes of decanting or a few years in the cellar. Enjoy over the next 5 years. 95 points.

Vice Versa Winery

"My journey in the world of wines began at 19 years of age with a spectacular bottle of Sauternes. It lead me to read voraciously about wines and to dream of becoming a vintner. Several years later, with some business success and a wealth of knowledge about wines under my belt, I finally followed the passion call to Napa Valley. The result, thanks to mother nature and an extraordinary group of people including consulting winemaker Paul Hobbs, talented vineyard managers and the rest of my team, speaks for itself. Everyone involved is highly focused, dedicated and passionate.

I believe in letting the terroir shine, stressing the vines to achieve low yields for maximum flavors, harvesting only when total physiological ripeness is reached, no fining or filtration and limiting new oak to optimal levels for purity." - Proprietor Patrice Breton
