Kerr Cellars 2017 Curvature Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The wine expresses layers of dark and dense aromas including notes of cassis, blackberry, coffee, and toffee. On the palate, it is incredibly rich, featuring blue-black fruit and sweet, subtle oak flavors. The inherent richness of the wine is balanced by subtle acidity and integrated yet powerful tannins in the finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 Points
"A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon (from Stagecoach vineyard), 16% Merlot (from Blue Tooth vineyard in Yountville) and 6% Petit Verdot and aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, 70% new, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Curvature has a deep garnet-purple color and strides confidently out of the glass with very classy notions of fresh blackcurrants, black cherries and red plums plus an undercurrent of cigar box, menthol, bay leaves and truffles and a waft of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with loads of crunchy black and red fruits, it has a solid backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with a minty kick."

"Combines intensity with richness, depth and refinement, highlighting zesty dark berry, fresh-turned earth, licorice and spice notes, held together by vibrant acidity. Drink now through 2028."
