The 2012 release from Cardinale is perhaps one of their finest ever releases. The final blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot sourced from seven separate vineyards. It is dense with cassis, graphite, vanilla, baking spice and underbrush with exceptional complexity and richness. Pure, intense and seamless.

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cardinale from Cardinale is totally seamless and textured on the palate, with layers of ripe, racy fruit, tons of intensity and an opulent, voluptuous finish that captures the essence of this style to the T. Dark red stone fruits, cinnamon, cedar, tobacco and new leather linger on the creamy finish. Winemaker Chris Carpenter draws across the entire range of Kendall Jackson's Napa Valley properties to craft Cardinale. In 2012, the blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot from nine vineyards in a total of seven AVA's (Howell Mountain, Diamond Mountain, Spring Mountain, Mt. Veeder, Stags' Leap, Yountville and St. Helena).Antonio Galloni1st December 2014
