Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.7%)

A Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon cellared and bottled by the Michael Mondavi Family. Oberon is part of the Michael Mondavi Family portfolio, and winemaker Tony Coltrin sources fruit from across Napa County's diverse growing regions, including Oakville, Oak Knoll, Yountville, Suscol Ridge, Chiles Valley, Pope Valley and Capell Valley. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with extended post-fermentation maceration, undergoes malolactic fermentation with French oak, and then ages for 12 months in French oak barrels, 45% new. Red and black currants lead the aroma, followed by bitter chocolate, licorice, warm baking spices and an earthy undertone. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with vibrant black cherry and candied blackberry, hints of coffee and dark chocolate, supple silky tannins and a rounded mouthfeel. The finish is savory and balanced, with lingering spice and toasty oak and fine-grained tannins.
