Deep and inky purplish red. Dark nose with some elegant characteristics. Layers of dark flowers, cinnamon, black cherries and graphite. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Tight yet big on the palate, with layers of black raspberries, black currants, cassis, tobacco, graphite and cinnamon. Long and lingering finish.

Third winery on our sixth day in Napa Valley is Yount Ridge Cellars which is a new one to us located in Oakville. The last wine is their soon to be released flagship bottling, the Epic from the Yount Ridge Vineyard in Oakville and made by Celia Welch from Scarecrow. This is made out of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in 70% new French oak for 20 months and if similar to 2014 around 240 cases produced.
