Note di degustazione
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Caravina can be thought of as the second wine of the estate. Brought up in one-third new oak, it boasts a deep purple color as well as brilliant notes of black fruits, ground herbs, charcoal embers, and graphite. The goal with this cuvée is to make a more upfront, earlier-drinking wine, and while it’s certainly more approachable than the straight Cabernet Sauvignon, this puppy has depth, structure, and length, and is a beautiful wine in its own right.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Caravina is one of the most distinctive Napa Valley wines in its price range, or any price range, for that matter. Pliant, deep and expressive, with superb fruit density, the Caravina punches well above its weight. Mineral and savory notes add shades of nuance to a core of resonant dark red cherry fruit. All the elements are impeccably balanced.
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot aged 20 months in 33% new French oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Caravina is deep garnet-purple colored and intensely scented of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and mulberries with touches of tobacco, bay leaves and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied, soft, juicy and offers lovely vivacity, finishing with a pleasant herbal lift. 1,856 cases produced.
