Ripe blackcurrant and blackberry drive the palate of the 2012 Vine Cliff Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, layered with notes of dark licorice, tobacco and a touch of smoked meat. The texture is plush and full, with generous fruit concentration framed by supple but powerful tannins and a long, slightly bittersweet finish dusted with black pepper. This vintage shows the opulence and harmony of 2012 in Napa, offering both immediate pleasure and underlying complexity.
