Apriori Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2014
Leading with juicy red and black fruit notes, this Cab blend offers up plenty of blackberry, anise, baking spices, and cocoa powder. The tannins are fine and soft and lead to a smooth, satisfying finish. This wine is ready to go right now and will continue to be pleasurable for another 5 years.
