Nose
Concentrated and perfectly balanced, this opulent Cabernet Sauvignon shows rich aromas of blueberry, fruit compote and wild berry liqueur that evolve into notes of cola nut and vanilla that continue on that palate.
Palate
Notes of espresso and dark chocolate, with soft notes of wood, unfold in the background. The wine is opulent and large-scale, with firm structure and radiant tannins.
Growing Conditions
The 500 Chevaux is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: muscular, naturally more tannic and built to age yet with a plush and polished mouthfeel and lingering finish.
Aging
22 month in new French oak barrels
