Arrow & Branch Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 750ml

Lots of ripe fruit with aromas of blackberries, blueberries and flowers. Hint of lavender. Full-bodied, layered and balanced with a fine tannin structure. Very nicely crafted for the vintage.

Harvested all before the fires, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label is a juicy, rock star of a Napa blend that has lots of chocolate fruit, tobacco, and spice to go with a full-bodied, juicy, opulent style on the palate. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.

Coming from the Lewelling, Criscione and Beckstoffer Dr. Crane vineyards, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 65% new French oak. It has a deep garnet-purple color and delivers exuberant black cherries, ripe plums and crème de cassis notes with nuances of fallen leaves, pencil lead and charcoal plus a touch of dried herbs. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, it packs in the black fruit and earthy layers, finishing with a mineral kick.
