A silky and harmonious cabernet with currants, light chocolate and spice. Medium to full body, lightly round tannins and a flavorful finish. Real Napa cabernet at a good price. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Malbec, aged in 30% new French and American oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up bold notions of cassis, black cherries and spice box with hints of cedar and fragrant earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with loads of muscular fruit accented by a notable but not overwhelming oaky presence, going to a long, layered finish.

COMMENTARY: One of Napa Valley's most respected wineries, Louis M Martini continues to produce sound, top quality wines. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of the art and science of winemaking. TASTING NOTES: This wine is robust from start to finish and shows excellent structure on the palate. Its aromas and flavors of red and black fruits are tempered nicely with just an accent of oak. Pair it with a lightly- seasoned ribeye. (Tasted: December 18, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

Our 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctly layered wine with notes of ripe dark plum, black currant and sage. Rich and full-bodied, this superbly balanced wine has an expansive mid-palate and an exceptionally long finish. Already displaying a refined profile, this vintage’s well-structured tannins and ample acidity will allow it to age for more than a decade. ~ Winemaker Notes
