Nose

. The aromas are reserved at first, but
blossom into an exotic mix of bright cherry, black currant, spice and herbs layered with a hint of creamy vanilla.

Palate

The palate teases with the similar cherry and currant flavors then bursts into a broad and mouth filling wine that is elegant and focused from the beginning to the finish. The structure of the wine helps hold together each of the components into a seamless impression, with firm, ripe tannins and an everlasting finish.

Growing Conditions

L&R RIGHT BANK® is an assemblage of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon from five vineyards
located in the heart of Napa Valley. Each vineyard site was selected to accent these different grapes’ characteristics so
when brought together their individual attributes would lift each other harmoniously. The Cabernet Franc, at 53%, could
be the dominant player; however its vibrant aromatics and racy fruit flow seamlessly into the richer, dark plum-like
characteristics of the Merlot, at 30%. The Petit Verdot, 9%, supports with density and texture while the Cabernet
Sauvignon, 8%, provides a structure to sustain the rich fruit through a lengthy finish. The balance and charm of this wine
will allow it to be enjoyed now (we suggest decanting), but that same balance combined with the structure will let the wine gain in complexity and nuance with additional cellar aging.
