Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc. Classic tomato stalk and blackcurrant fruit, sweet spices and baked fruit on the palate. All Napa, and not ashamed to shout about it! (RH)

Very deep purple-black colored, the 2015 Papillon Proprietary Red features expressive crème de cassis, mulberries, plum preserves and chocolate box notes with wafts of underbrush, dried herbs and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and spicy in the mouth, it has a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long with a lively pepper and herbs lift. 16,200 cases produced.
