Description
WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The 2023 Contadina is a balanced yet lively Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of ripe
blackcurrant and lush red cherry fruit, accentuated with herbal aromatics of sage,
mint, and sweet tobacco, and a long, complex finish with rounded tannins. The
provenance of these vineyards and the rigorous organic farming standards applied
to them makes this a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with a very generous qualityto-price rapport.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
TASTING NOTES:
Fruit driven, with aromas of dark fruit, dried flowers, spices, coffee beans and graphite. The palate is mid-weighted with fine-boned tannins, bright acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish. There’s lovely finesse that is tightly wound, with juicy, early-drinking appeal. Delicious. Drink or hold.
