2017 IL BARONE, Magnum
Our 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from our top vineyards throughout Napa Valley, and shows dense flavors of dark berries, baking spice, and powerful, structured tannins. An exceptional Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with excellent long-term aging potential.
Large format bottles allow for high quality wines to age slower and longer. This is due to a lower volume of surface area in a Magnum bottle. Producing a beautiful wine that lasts for years to come.

ACCOLADES
• Jeb Dunnuck (96 Points)
"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Il Barone (there's 5% Merlot in the blend) is a selection geared to be a rich, powerful wine and it succeeds admirably, offering full-bodied richness and depth, awesome tannin quality, no hard edges, and a complex notes of black and blue fruits, Asian spices, chocolate, and earthy, forest floor nuances. It's another brilliant wine in this lineup."
• Wine Enthusiast Magazine - Cellar Selection (94 Points)
"Review Coming Soon."
• Wine Spectator (92 Points)
"Ripe, rounded and warm in feel, with cassis and cherry puree notes laced with alder and sassafras hints. Built on acidity as much as tannin, too, which gives it a nice feel through the finish. Drink now through 2031."
