Baldacci Family Vineyards 2014 Brenda’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley: Named in honor of his mother Brenda, winemaker Michael Baldacci carefully selects only the best grapes to go into this stunning wine, which is aged in medium to heavy toasted French oak barrels to create texture and complexity. His 2014 embodied both of these elements with soft silky texture and layers upon layers of intricate flavors of ripe black fruits, toasted hazelnut, black olive tapenade, vanilla, and savory dried herbs.
