Tasting Notes
For Jean-Charles Boisset, the N° 10 Cabernet Sauvignon must not only age well into the future, it must be DECADENT in the present. It must have a commanding structure, yet have flavors that are HEDONISTIC. But above all, N° 10 must always have a dramatic personality. It is never tamed and predictable. N° 10 is NOBLE.

WinemakingAppearance:This beautiful 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet is a deep garnet-purple color.
Aroma:Striking aromas of roasted nuts, mocha, black currants, warm plums and a notion of dried lavender.
Palate:The firm, concentrated palate is packed with spice-laced fruit, black cherries, mulberries and dark chocolate. The plush mouthfeel, velvety tannins and freshness lead to a long and layered finish juxtaposed by fruit and earth.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:What the Number 10 Signifies: The number 10 throughout history has always represented the concept of wholeness, soundness and being complete. This wine was uniquely designed to represent all that Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is renowned for: structure, balance and power. It is a perfect 10!
