Description
Beautifully polished expression of Napa’s diverse mountain and valley vineyards. Combining fruit from Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, To Kalon and other prized sites, it marries concentration with remarkable finesse. Layers of blackberry, cassis, graphite and violet unfold across a rich, structured palate, while perfectly integrated tannins give the wine its signature balance. The long, even growing season of 2013 produced wines of tremendous purity and longevity, and Cardinale’s meticulous blending delivers both immediate appeal and decades of cellaring potential. Entering its prime now, this is a wine that will continue to reward patience well into the late 2030s. A quintessential Napa blend that exemplifies elegance, depth, and precision.
