Introducing Coronet, a luxurious new Napa Valley wine crafted by the esteemed team at Arrow & Branch Winery. Sourced from the winery's vineyard situated on Napa Valley's southernmost alluvial fan, Coronet is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, meticulously created from four distinct Cabernet clones and aged to perfection in new French oak barrels. Since 2021, the vineyard has been expertly farmed under the guidance of Michael Wolf and Bianco Winegrowing, ensuring the finest techniques are employed to nurture its 30-year-old vines, resulting in a wine of unparalleled elegance and depth.
Aged for 20 months in 66% new French oak, this 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon surprises with an alluring, perfume-like nose of baby powder, cologne, and a hint of clove, drawing you in with its intriguing aromatic profile. On the palate, it’s rich and dark, offering sweet red fruit flavors with a touch of grapey candy and an interesting mix of anise and subtle spice. The texture is smooth and approachable, with a soft, sexy mouthfeel and a length that’s impressive for the price, without any harsh edges. The wine has a toasty, graham cracker nuance and a brightness that adds complexity to the finish where hints of fresh fruits and spices linger. While the finish is more approachable, the overall balance, soft structure, and sweetness make it an attractive and delicious option, especially for those seeking a flavorful, easy-drinking Cabernet with a touch of dark charm.
