Cardinale offers the same winning combination in the vinous form: a brilliant ensemble of celebrated Napa Valley vineyards where each brings its own personality and flavour contributions to create a singular storyline of their vintage. The 2017 has the signature structure of Cardinale and showcases Asian spice, blackberries, sweet black cherry, a touch of cedar, and a lush tannin expression that carries on the tradition of this wine at the highest level. Blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot.

97 Points –Wine Enthusiast

A beautiful wine from the vintage, with 5% Merlot, this opens in soy, cedar and leather. Grippy in its youth, it is integrated, cohesive and elegant in its firm grasp of power and intensity, with nuanced layers of black currant, blueberry and dried herb. This will only get better; enjoy best from 20272037.
