Crocker & Starr Cabernet Sauvignon "RLC" Napa Valley 2014

Brand new wine from established and well-regarded Crocker & Starr winery. The abbreviated name refers to the three soils types from the Crocker vineyard in St. Helena that go into the wine: rock, loam, and clay. The result is an extremely inviting and rewarding Cabernet: ripe and fruity, with a jammy core, backed up by pepper, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and herbal, minty overtones. Exciting to find stellar Napa Cab at this price.
