2012 "Belles Filles Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon
Coombsville, Napa Valley, CA

Le Chanceux 2012 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Notes:
A striking dark garnet, with a deep core leading to dark ruby edges. Balanced and delicate on the nose, with teasing aromas of tart, wild blackberry and plum complimented by dried herbs, pencil lead and subtle notes of vanilla extract, cedar, cinnamon/clove bakeshop spice and a kiss of licorice. Medium in body, the wine is soft and supple on the mid-palate, with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity on the finish. A beautiful, elegant wine for your holiday festivities!

Learning from famed Napa mentors while testing his skills in a garage, he quickly accepted a management opportunity at a winemaking facility in 2006 followed by his own label, Modus Operandi.
