Maldonado Family Vineyards 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Due to its youth, it is recommended to decant this wine for an hour to allow all the aromas and bouquet to show brightly.
Intensely purple and quite opaque, this powerful Cabernet promises to deliver a bold tasting experience. The nose is large and wafts from the glass. Plum, black cherry and blackberries show first, followed by mocha and clove. The flavors unveil ripe black and red fruits, dried herbs, vanilla and nuances of bakeshop spices. The finish coats the mouth in tannins which promise long, graceful aging. ~Tasting notes by Cellar Angels' Chief Operating Angel, Denise Cody
