Carte Blanche Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2008

Carte Blanche delivers the panache of full throttle Napa fruit in Bordeaux style Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. This gem flaunts gorgeous purity, with a profound offering of ripe, fleshy currant, black cherry, blackberry, and elegant minerality guaranteed to thrill both Napa collectors and Bordeaux aficionados. The finish delivers sublime new French oak flavors that linger pleasantly for a full minute. Amazingly weighty, supple and harmonious texture, with tannins that are pronounced (gracefully) now, boding well for long term aging over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking around 2015 in our estimate.
