White Rock Claret Napa Valley 2014

2014: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Bordeaux-style blend in the “classic Napa” style (think 70’s-80’s). All estate fruit from the base of Atlas Peak. Cassis, black cherry liqueur, blackberry, cocoa, mandarin rind, graphite and a distinct chalky quality to the tannins, courtesy of compressed white volcanic ash soils. Fantastic now, will age gracefully for at least 15 years.
