The 2016 Galerie Napa Valley Plenair Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark purple wine with notes of cassis and black fruit with beautiful floral character. Full palate with elegant round tannins and a long finish.

"Made by Laura Diaz (formerly at Lokoya) and coming mostly from valley floor fruit, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pleinair is a sexy, flamboyant beauty that boasts a deep purple color, a huge nose of cassis and blueberry fruits, a complex floral character, full body, and a pure, elegant, yet pleasure-bent style that’s already a joy to drink."

"This impressive wine is sourced from stellar sites, including Stagecoach, Cardinale and Bosche. Made in a 100% varietal manner, it is plush and expansive on the palate, rich and round in smoothly integrated red plum and cherry with accents of herb, tobacco, leather and black pepper."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90 Points
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Pleinair Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) opens with rambunctious crème de cassis, plum preserves and lifted notes of candied violets and lavender with touches of of menthol and cedar chest. Full, rich, concentrated and packed with flamboyant fruit, it has a solid frame of rounded tannins and a long finish."
