Signorello Padrone 2014

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone is a selection of the best block and barrels on the property. Sweet tobacco, graphite, plums, chocolate, menthol, licorice and dark stone fruits are vivid and intense, especially for such a big wine. Ample, generous and inviting, the 2014 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Like all the Signorello wines today, the Padrone exudes silkiness and finesse.

The flagship 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Padron is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, all brought up in new French oak. This deep purple-colored effort offers a beautiful bouquet of spiced plums, incense, and crème de cassis. Thick, rich and opulent, with beautiful density and depth, it stays fresh and lively and has ripe tannin. It’s a terrific Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 15-20 years.
