Di Costanzo

Herbal, elegant and textured in sublime layers of elegant power, this 100% varietal wine from the cooler pockets of the Napa Valley shows notes of pillowy tannin, crushed rock and currant that linger within a framework of cohesive structure. The wine is built to last; enjoy best from 2029–2039.

The deep and complex nose, which is full of savory, ripe-plum and wet-earth aromas, makes this cabernet stand out in the Napa pack. Then the rich, but finely nuanced palate slowly opens up its spicy secrets. There’s a ton of tannins in here, but they’re beautifully crafted and give the wine serious complexity. Then, the hint of bitterness at the finish adds even more vitality. Try to wait until at least 2021.
