Metal Bender Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$65.00 / 750 ml
The 2022 Metal Bender Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon expresses warm vintage Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics. It pours a deep purple with an expressive nose of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry. The full-bodied palate is rich and velvety, with structured yet polished tannins supporting flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and graphite. Well-integrated oak adds hints of vanilla and tobacco, leading to a long, lingering finish with echoes of dark chocolate and plum.
