YAO MING Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2015

Winemaker Notes
Appearance exhibits a deep ruby hue. Aromas are layered with berry and flavors of cherry, cassis and plum. There is a core minerality with lavender tones. The oak is well integrated and has nice toast aroma with hints of vanilla and wild sage. On the palate the wine is lush and firm but also has mature tannins and supple texture. This wine can be enjoyed now and will age for 10 years. The 2015 growing season was a low yielding vintage in the Napa Valley due to set. We had good balance on the fruiting wire. This is a year that makes the winemaker focus on intense purity and bring out the essence of the vintage.
