2016 RMS Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows concentrated dark-fruit core—blackcurrant and blackberry—framed by mocha and toasted cedar from measured oak, with secondary notes of dried herbs and a hint of graphite.
The palate is full-bodied with ripe, rounded tannins and bright acidity that keep the finish focused rather than heavy. Time in bottle has softened the wine’s edges, revealing a plush midpalate and a lingering, slightly savory finish. It wears Napa richness without excess, making it a versatile choice alongside bold, classic preparations.
Serve slightly below room temperature with grilled ribeye or herb-crusted lamb.
