Ladera 2003 Lone Canyon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Fantastic 100% Cabernet from Ladera's Mt. Veeder vineyard. Very limited.

The Ladera 2003 Lone Canyon Cabernet is a perfect example of how rich and lush the wines from this property can be. This wine is exuberant in color and the aromas are alive with spicy and herbal fruit. The nose provides earthy, brambly undertones with brilliant dark fruit. A full bodied entry hits the palate with flavors of dark cherry and licorice. The wine is layered with textures that are bold and masculine yet maintain tannins of a velvety character. The dark fruit flavors blend with the complex tannins to produce on extremely long fruit finish.
