Lanterna Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2012
Soars from the glass with captivating aromas of espresso and melted dark chocolate, leading to a robust experience featuring layers of black fruit complimented by deftly integrated, creamy French oak and grainy tannins. Notes of blackberry, baking spices, and mocha linger on the prodigious finish. This gem maintains a sense of age-worthy elegance rarely found in pure Cabernets at this price. Enjoy tonight (decant 15 minutes) or anytime over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking 2020 – 2021 depending upon your palate.
