Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley – Red – 2013 – 1500 ml:
Cardinale: The Monumental Cabernet Sauvignon of Napa Valley
Cardinale is not just a wine; it is a relentless pursuit of the singular best expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate meticulously blends fruit from the region’s elite mountain terroirs (Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder) and select benchland vineyards. Each vintage is a unique symphony, expertly orchestrated by renowned Winemaker Christopher Carpenter.
Tasting Notes (Typical Profile)
- Color: Deep, inky garnet, with intense purple highlights.
- Nose: A powerful and complex bouquet. Primary aromas of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry lead to secondary layers of graphite, cigar box, tobacco leaf, and sweet spice from new French oak aging.
- Palate: Rich and concentrated upon entry. The power of the mountain tannins is beautifully refined by a velvety texture and vibrant acidity, ensuring exceptional age-worthiness. The finish is incredibly long, marked by dark chocolate and crushed stone minerality.
Pairing & Service Recommendations
This collector’s wine demands service commensurate with its status. We recommend decanting young vintages for two to three hours. Serve at 65°F (18°C).
- Food Pairings: The ultimate companion for the finest cuts of beef, venison, and rich, truffled dishes.
