Checkerboard Napa Aurora Vineyard 2015
Cabernet Sauvignon | California | United States
From above, this patchwork of vineyards between St. Helena and Calistoaga really resembles a checkerboard. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, barrel fermented, pressed, and then put back in a new barrel to mellow.
The result is stunning, with an alluring bouquet and impressive array of deeply complex flavor and a gripping, ageworthy tannic structure. Smoky and spicy – certainly among the top growths of Napa.
