Durant and Booth Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2017

Price: $25.75 Sale $22.66

A reflection of the Napa Valley history and terroir, this is everyone’s must-have Cabernet Sauvignon – a wine with structure, elegance and depth.

A dark purple in the glass opening with vibrant aromas of red cherry, strawberry and mulberry with a suggestion of lilac. The flavors are layered with baked plum, blueberries and mocha with a nuance of spice and a touch of earthiness on the palate. This is a structured and well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with fine-grained tannins and a textured finish that lingers.
