Antica Mountain Select Napa Cabernet

Description

ANTICA is a symbol for Antinori California and expresses in Italian our family’s passion for winemaking passed along 26 generations.Napa Valley has a special place in my heart beginning with my first visit in 1966, having the free spirit coming from a new frontier, a wonderful history, and the potential to produce world-class wines.Our wine estate is located on a high plain in the eastern mountains of the celebrated Napa Valley. Its hilly terrain, rocky soils, high elevations, and beautiful landscape create above all an estate ideal for winegrowing.Complex and supple, this wine is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and black peppercorn are complemented by cedar, espresso bean, and leather. The palate displays the full-bodied richness and balanced tannins woven seamlessly into the expression of the fruit. The long finish leaves flavors of brambly mountain fruit and cherry spice.
