Fruity, almost-sweet black fruits and dark chocolate give this deep, dark wine an easy-going expression despite its full body and moderate tannins. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Built for further aging, this fully tannic and concentrated wine squeezes its black cherry and blackberry flavors firmly with tannins, giving an extra-grippy texture at this stage. Best from 2027–2037.

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Y3 Taureau delivers black cherries, cassis and some herbal nuances on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, not that rich or concentrated on the palate, but clean and well made. The reasonable price tag makes it a notable value among Napa offerings.
