Description

The Vineyard
We are proud to introduce the third vintage in a series of the Spell Cabernet. As with all the Spell wines, this wine is defined by its balance, true varietal character and unique vineyard terroir. It exemplifies Napa Valley in its most noble and purest expression.

Winemaker Notes
From the same vineyard source as the 2016, this wine processes more concentration of fruit, depth and texture than all previous versions. Aromas of Crème de cassis, blackberry, violets, baking spice, mocha, tobacco and sweet oak fill the glass. Flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, cocoa nib, and dried herbs are balanced by the smooth valley hillside tannins. Vibrant acidity extends the finish. Extremely pleasing now, the structure and acidity will allow this wine to age gracefully for a decade or more.
