I gotta
say, I love a good California Cabernet, and California Cabs come in a dizzying
array of styles; some austere and tight, others, jammy and alcoholic, most rather
forgettable. But Amici strikes the correct balance. It represents what Napa Cab
should taste like while presenting solid structure and a pleasant drinking
experience.
You’ll
find notes of blueberry, black cherry, blackberry, cedar and vanilla, cigar
box, with back notes of plum, herbs and wildflowers.
Comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, with 6% Malbec, 6% Merlot, 3% Petite Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, it’s aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak barrels, which might sound like a lot of wood, but it merely supports the fruit. The Amici is that tried and true Cabernet, one that will always be in style.
