Nose
Ripe red fruits and flowers are dense and potent and there is no
mistaking this wine as anything but pure Napa Valley cabernet. Savory baking spices mingle
with black raspberry preserves, and loamy earth notes.
Palate
On the palate the wine is rich and
complex with classic Bell balance of acidity and refined tannins. The oak is present on the palate
with that dense ripe fruit carried over from the bouquet. The finish lingers long, evolving to
seductive dark fruits.
Aging
