Silenus Winery Tyros Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley, California

Tyros wine is the perfect expression of the Napa Valley. The vineyards that contribute to this wine span many of the AVA’s (American Vinicultural Areas) in the Napa Valley and include Oak Knoll, Yountville, and Coombsville. The AVAs are blended to form a harmonious and expressive wine. The majority of Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine comes from Yountville with the some coming from the Oak Knoll District Coombsville. The wine was aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak, 10% new American oak and the rest in neutral barrels. This blend of oak integrates perfectly with the lush fruitiness of the wine and lends just the right amount of tannins for a perfect balance. Tasting notes: Bright ruby red color with beautiful garnet tones reaching the rim. The nose expresses fresh ripe berries and pomegranate with hints of sweet oak. The palate is dominated by its fruit forward personality with secondary bright and balanced tones of red cherry, pomegranate and toasty oak. The finish is fresh and smooth with slight lingering hints of oak on its finish. Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot.
