2015 Memento Mori Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

“A decadent blend of fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Beckstoffer Las Piedras, Oakville Ranch and Weitz vineyards, aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a very deep purple-black color and gorgeous nose of exotic spices and incense notions—cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, fenugreek and sandalwood—with a cassis and plum preserves core, plus hints of cigar box and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich and opulent, with seductively velvety tannins and invigorating freshness, finishing very long with provocative earthy suggestions coming through.

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 22 months in 100% new French oak. Its inky-purple color is followed by a sweet unctuous, undeniably sexy wine that has tons of creme de cassis, toasted spice, graphite, and white chocolate. Gorgeously layered, pure and polished, it's a gorgeous wine to drink over the coming 15 years or more.” (12/2017)
