Capture Proprietary Red Napa Alliance 2012
Luscious and forward, the 2012 Alliance offers up a refined bouquet loaded with black cherries, red berries, exotic spices, and a savory edge that adds a touch of complexity. Wonderfully layered, there is great depth and power that delivers waves of red and black fruit, cigar box, and a captivating floral component. This is just hitting it’s stride and will continue to drink well for another decade.
