2017 | Michael Mondavi Emblem Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley Obsidian Wine Co. vanilla and woodReminiscent of classic Napa Valley elegance, the Emblem Cabernet Sauvignon also embraces a modern ripe style by weaving in a small percentage of Petite Sirah to lift the aromatics and add plushness to the palate. Black currant, broken cacao and a wisp of eastern spices from the French oak provide structure and a graceful finish.
