Ashes & Diamonds Rouge No. 6 Napa Valley, California USA

Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot

Localization: Napa Valley, California, USA

Tasting Notes: Poised and precise ripe black cherry and black currant, with some undertones of leather and cocoa. The wine rests easy on the palate, with great tannic structure and a round, rich frame. An excellent Napa Valley Cabernet blend, more about structure than ripeness and alcohol.

Notes: Ashes & Diamonds Rouge is a blend of Bordeaux style varietals from select vineyards across Napa Valley. The variety of regions depicts a whole view of what Napa Valley represents as a single AVA - from thin, rugged soils to the thicker, rich soils of the valley floor. Rouge also marries multiple vintages as another tool in the art of blending, which delivers a more approachable wine earlier in its life.
