Venge Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 'Igneous'

Kirk Venge makes larger-than-life Cabs from the various terroirs of the Napa Valley. Most of the vineyards he and his family own are in Calistoga, and it is from these rocky soils that Kirk's Igneous Cab comes from. It is a massive, deeply concentrated, and towering Napa Cab. 'This wine begins with wonderful purple color and aromatics that fall within the black fruit spectrum. Blackberry preserve and currant syrup fill the senses and pique curiosity. As this wine opens up, the background notes of sweet vanillin and earth come forth. The palate is firm and polished with a wonderful glide from start to finish. Boy this wine has some power! Cassis, anise, dried currant, blackberry and black cherry are all intertwined. The acid and tannins are perfectly balanced, creating a savory texture that causes a desire for more. Delicious!' - Kirk Venge
