Description
Ardente Expressione Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a dark, ruby red wine of extraordinary complexity. The unique characteristics of wine can be attributed to the conditions found on Atlas Peak, including the rich volcanic soil indigenous to this part of the Napa Valley and a distinctive microclimate located at an altitude of 1500 feet. The result is a wine with an intense yet delicate nose, a rich satisfying mouth feel, a pleasant finish with just the right amount of tanning and the promise of a long aging.
