2018 John Anthony Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"This dense ruby-hued cabernet sauvignon leads with wildly-aromatic black and red currants and floral notes of violet, lavender and rose. Cracked pink peppercorn and savory spices give further depth to the aromatics. On the palate sumptuous blackberries and ripe Bing cherries meld with hints of kola nut, cordovan leather and dark mole. Wonderful tannin structure carries decadent layers of chocolate raspberry cake and crème de cassis into a long, lingering finish."
