Amulet Estate ‘AE’ Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Amulet Estate AE Cabernet Sauvignon is a Yountville, Napa Valley wine that serves as an introduction to the Amulet Estate portfolio.
- It features a Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a sustainably farmed single vineyard, in partnership with the Bettinelli family.
- The ‘AE’ label highlights the vibrancy of Napa Valley and is a carefully planned addition to the Amulet Estate lineup.
Varietal: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 5% Malbec
Tasting Notes: “… captures some of the gently herbal notes common in this slightly cooler part of Napa and marries them nicely into a wider band of ripe cherries.. it’s medium to full-bodied in the mouth, framed by silky tannins, with a tart, mouthwatering finish.” -Wine Advocate
