Avalon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Napa Valley, California, United StatesA better version in 2012 with a riper black olive tapenade, tobacco, black fruited nose. The attack is cabernet sauvignon substantial, boasting fruit from Rutherford, Atlas Peak, Chiles Valley District and Coombsville AVAs. The blend is 80/16/4/ cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc and the result is a juicy, spicy, smoky red with black cherries and boysenberries with the softer, warm, amply dusty Napa Valley tannin finish. Grilled steaks or firm, rich cheese would be a fine match.Tasted: 07 August 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $29.29 | 750ml | specialty listing |
