2012 is a great year for Cabernet in Napa. Atalon's goal is to make a soft approachable Cabernet that is elegant yet impactful. The 2012 Atalon Cabernet Sauvignon is opaque dark ruby in color. There is a sweetness of dark fruit. Black cherry, blackberry, currant and plum lead the way to cocoa powder, spice and integrated oak. It has great depth and richness of black fruit.
