Brought up in 20% new barrels, the 2015 Napanook is an awesome wine in its own right, offering classic cassis, tobacco, leafy herbs, and violets notes, with an almost Bordeaux-like earthiness. Full-bodied, incredibly pure and seamless on the palate as well as impeccably balanced, it's more than worth your time and money.

The 2015 Napanook is dark, plush and inviting, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, spice and licorice notes are all pushed forward in a decidedly lush, open-knit Napanook that will be ready to go pretty much upon release.

A hearty, robust, Bordeaux-inspired style, with a strong cedary, woody core to spicy dark berry flavors, ending dry and tannic. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2020 through 2027. 3,800 cases made.
