Accendo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2015

Accendo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon wines are brilliant in their youth, vibrant and pure, a blend utilizing impeccable fruit from superior vineyard sites, fashioned in a winemaking style that emphasizes elegance, balance, freshness and finesse. Accessible at a young age, yet with the concentration and complexity required for extended cellaring, Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential expression of Napa Valley terroir and handcrafted by winemaker Françoise Peschon.

"The first earth-driven aromas of this wine become more complex with notes of exotic spices, white flowers, dried roses, talcum powder, lavender and ash, evolving into a sweet, ethereal perfume on the nose. On the palate, the wine offers delicious flavors of red licorice, raspberry, black cherry and cranberry, a core density balanced by minerality and loamy notes, and a long finish of fine dusty tannins and wet stone. “There is a purity and sophistication in this wine that balances the old world with the new world – great balance and tension, strong core tannins, yet very refined, with a long, lingering finish that begs for another sip.” ~Winemaker Francoise Peschon
