Cardinale offers a brilliant ensemble of Napa Valley's most celebrated vineyards each bringing its own personality and flavor profile to create a wine that is defined and driven by the vintage rather than any singular site. Blended from eleven vineyards, this wine has the signature structure of Cardinale and showcases a mélange of blackberry, dark cherry, blueberry pie, mocha, slate, graphite, and toasted vanilla that will awaken you to the incredible vintage that was and is 2016. For the most discerning wine lovers, this wine is built to last and will age gracefully in your cellar for 20–30 years.

This full-bodied red wine has a deep purple color, with fresh dark fruit, menthol and baking spice aromas. Ripe tannins support the firm black fruits and minerality, finishing long.
