Cain Vineyard & Winery Cain Five Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

The legendary Cain Five is one of the flagship wines from  Napa' Spring Mountain District. Limited! 96 points James Suckling: "Plenty of spicy dried berries, iodine and light earth. Bark and lead pencil, too. Medium to full body and firm, polished tannins. Savory, so complex and long. 61% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 13% cabernet franc, 6% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Gorgeous now." If the Cain Five is utterly unique, distinctive in both aroma and taste, this can only reflect the Cain Vineyard, which gives birth to this wine and is both spectacular and idiosyncratic. Composed of the five classic varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot—Cain Five epitomizes the benefits of blending to achieve a complex wine. It is supple and rich of texture, combining a full, firm structure with a long and subtle finish. A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot.
