The 2023 Grape Culture High Tide Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of Napa's finest terroirs with a harmonious complexity from an incredible vintage. The nose opens with layers of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and cassis, underpinned by subtle hints of dark chocolate and espresso. Aromas of cedar, graphite, and a whisper of violet add depth and allure.
On the palate, it’s full-bodied and impeccably structured, with fine-grained tannins giving way to flavors of juicy plum, black cherry, and a touch of toasted vanilla from well-integrated oak aging. Mid-palate reveals nuances of licorice, tobacco, and a mineral edge that lends sophistication, leading into a long, luxurious finish accented by a delicate balance of acidity and lingering dark fruit.
Ideal for cellaring, this Cabernet Sauvignon promises even greater elegance with age, though it’s equally compelling in its youthful intensity.
