XXV Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2023

Tasting Notes
“Deep garnet-purple colored, XXV opens with an alluring bouquet of fresh and well balanced fruit flavors including blueberries, crushed blackcurrants and hints of lavender, violets, and stargazer lilies on the bouquet. The velvety smooth and rich texture features fine tannins, spectacular depth of dark fruit flavors, and a lengthy finish (45 seconds long) that bodes well for enjoyment for the next 5-7 years. My team and I were impressed by the fineness of the tannins on the finish as they glide effortlessly across the palate. Enjoy tonight (decanting recommended) through 2032.” - Porthos owner Hal Oates (12/2025)
