Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 is a mature, full-bodied red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Cardinale is one of the Jackson Family`s leading properties. This Cabernet Sauvignon includes a small proportion of Merlot, with fruit sourced from four vineyard sites. Howell Mountain, Veeder Peak, To-Kalon and Stags Leap. "The superb 2003 Cardinale is performing even better than I remember, having put on weight and filled out. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple colour along with sweet kirsch, black currant, Christmas fruitcake, cedarwood and forest floor notes. Deep, full-bodied and voluptuously textured with sweet tannins still in evidence, it can be drunk over the next 15 years." Wine Advocate, 2013
