Winery Notes:
Our Napa Cab is becoming a to-go wine for many Ballentine wine lovers. This is a fruit-forward wine, with dark fruit dominating the palate. Blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, and currants explode on the nose and palate. Hints of black olive, dark cocoa, eucalyptus complement the soft tannins and keep this wine balanced. This medium-bodied wine finishes with fig preserves and baking spices. This wine is crafted to be enjoyed upon release but can easily hold up to aging for another 7-10 years.

A polished, creamy style, with flattering plum sauce and blackberry puree notes that glide through, with a gloss of roasted vanilla bean elements. Reveals a late tug of graphite that keeps the finish honest. Drink now through 2035. 750 cases made.

Lots of blue fruits, violets, tobacco, and a touch of chocolate define the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, an elegant, balanced, seamless Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that represents a great value. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years.
