Marcelina Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 1999

Alc. 13.5% by vol. Marcelina is a collaboration between veteran Winemaster Marcello Monticelli and third generation Winemaker Gina Gallo. A portion of the grapes for this Napa Cabernet was drawn from vineyards on Howell Mountain ranging from 800 to 1,400 feet in elevation and lends the wine its distinctive structure and aromatic components. The balance of grapes provides full body and rich cassis and berry fruit flavors. With careful barrel aging and masterful blending, the resulting wine is an expression of the harmony, balance and concentration that is uniquely Napa.
