2015 John Anthony Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Mixed berry aromas with plum and dark currant. Hints of black licorice and sweet herbs. On the palate, the wine is rich and broad with firm structure balanced by a supple finish. Blackberry and Cassis flavors dominate with the support of five spice and a high mineral tone. This classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon continues to bear the standard for John Anthony. It can be enjoyed immediately and for the next 15 years to come.
“An inviting, polished style, with suave plum, boysenberry and blueberry reduction notes that glide through, carried by plush but defined structure. Light graphite, anise and apple wood flavors score the finish, though the fruit holds the upper hand throughout”
