Xtant Napa Valley Red Wine 2009

2/3rd Cabernet Sauvignon (from Lewelling Vineyard, St Helena), 1/4th Merlot then Malbec. 2009, an open-knit vintage for drinking 5-10 years from harvest. This is ready to roll (i.e. DRINK). Spicy/toasty oak, cocoa, cinnamon, black cherry liqueur, boysenberries, mocha, vanilla. Full-bodied, medium/low tannins, lush and oh so rich. Red meat wine for sure
