Argot Cabernet Sauvignon Starstruck 2016

It offers a textbook 2017 Cabernet expression with is ripe black fruits, chocolaty herbs, graphite, and scorched earth aromas and flavors. With plenty of sweet fruit, medium to full body, building, chewy tannins, and a great finish, it’s a classic Cabernet that can be drunk today or cellared for 10-12+ years. Starstruck elevated. A completely different beast than previous vintages, 2017 delivers an exceptional, profound, full-throttle rendition of this bottling. A wine for those Napa Cabernet lovers whom enough is never enough.

Rambunctiously dark, deep and impenetrable in the glass, swirling reveals an ever-evolving, distinctly masculine perfume — black fruits, licorice, wet rocks, cigar leaf and graphite. The palate’s massive structure towers towards the heavens, delivering an exotic mix of Napa Valley mountain terroir — black fruits, dark-citrus, black earth, bouquet-garni, pine-forest and cedarwood — powerful energy, and haunting persistence. Quintessentially intense, coating and saturated. If there is a light at the end of this tunnel, it will never go out.
