Anatomy #1 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018

French winemaker Philippe Langner brings a touch of Bordeaux to Napa for a more restrained though still very engaging style of Cabernet. The nose opens with nicely ripe black fruits – think blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry – plus a subtly oaky nose of smoke, black pepper, and cloves. Bright, refreshing acidity on the palate adds to the overall approachability. A serious “Hillside” style of Cabernet that makes for a great everyday drinking Napa Cab.
