Wine

A deep, opaque ruby-violet in the glass, it’s immediately aromatic, with notes of dark fruit, dried rose, pie crust, and oak. It’s powerful yet decadent, with tightly knit tannins that lay the foundation for lush flavors of blackberry preserves, dark chocolate, spice, and a subtle undercurrent of savoriness. A gentle swell of acidity provides a pleasant balance to the wine’s dense concentration, carrying it to a long, perfumed finish. This wine is captivating from the first pour, but will continue developing complexity with some time in the decanter.

The first vintage of KHK Cabernet Sauvignon enters the world with a wonderful pedigree: incredible soil in the vineyard, favorable growing season conditions and thoughtful winemaking practices. This wine encapsulates so much of what makes Napa Valley wines so thrilling and beguiling under the best circumstances; deep, dark color, vivid aromas and a velvety layered palate that leaves you reeling.

The wine possesses a completely opaque royal purple hue in the glass. Aromas emerge in concert, suggesting notes of cassis reduction, loam and purple lilac. The sophisticated palate expresses decadent dark fruit held together by a silky medium tannin structure, providing a pleasant framework. Fruit density is balanced out with a sleek acidity running through the middle and finishing with light red fruit and floral notes. With so many layers to unpack, this wine will benefit with a good decant and enjoyed over a couple hours to appreciate all it has to offer.
