2017 Addax Red Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: This blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon from the famed Tench Vineyard in Oakville and 48% Merlot from Sugarloaf Mountain leaps from the glass with notes of black currant laced with cocoa. Plush and opulent in the mouth, this hedonistic effort combines the brute force of our Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon with the curvaceous nature of our Merlot. Deep and dark, the purity of fruit is layered with tar and baking spice.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Jeb Dunnuck - "Based on 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot, the 2017 Napa Valley Red Wine sports a deep purple hue as well as a big, rocking bouquet of blackcurrants, blueberries, melted chocolate, cedary herbs, and incense. Similar in style to winemaker Russell Bevan’s own wines with it pedal to the metal, opulent, sexy style, it’s loaded with fruit, is full-bodied, has ripe, present tannins, and is going to evolve for 15 years or more.
