this juicy ready-to-drink wine is a counterpunch to those who believe napa cabernets are unapproachable in their early years. black plum, blueberry juice and melted licorice aromas start the experience, then the palate picks up a peppery spice that gives depth to the black-currant and vanilla ripeness. the tannins are soft, if not weak, and the acidity is balanced.
