"Our 23rd vintage of this wine and it is still a joy to produce. There is a reason our CJ has such a strong following and this wine does not disappoint. The nose is intense and pow erful with black currant, raspberry and fresh strawberries along with hints of crushed rocks. The entry is juicy and layered complemented by cassis, red plum, with a leathery yet vibrant structure. This wine has lots of fruit with plush, integrated tannins that make this easy and approachable even at a young stage in its life. Recommended to decant to show off even more of its expressivity." 75% Cabernet sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot100% Napa ValleyAging: 22 months 40% new French oak Show more
