Corley Family 2017 State Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
This wine is offering wonderful aromas of dark blackberry, cassis, hints of vanilla, and undertones of sweet caramel from the barrels. On the palate, the wine is bold upon entry, with characteristically robust tannins on the edges of the palate. The mid-palate is full, providing depth and a strong foundation. The finish is long and lingering, and with a slight grip, as is typical for this vineyard.

"Grippy and tight, with a hefty dose of charcoal-tinged toast framing the core of steeped black currant and fig fruit flavors. Offers lots of tar and bramble accents through the finish, while the fruit and toast keep pace with each other. Muscular wine. Best from 2021 through 2032."
