Arrow & Branch Right Bank Blend 2017 750

Description:

Arrow & Branch proprietors Steve and Seanne Contursi share a great love for the wines of Bordeaux, particularly those produced with a large quantity of Cabernet Franc, such as Chateau Cheval Blanc. The couple began their romance while traveling through Bordeaux in the mid 1980's, and have since found their dreams come true in being able to live and make wine in Napa Valley.

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2017 Red Wine checks in as 45% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, sourced from sites in Coombsville, St. Helena, and Atlas Peak, that spent 20 months in 75% new French oak. It's another juicy, incredibly pure, delicious effort, offering loads of blue fruits, kirsch liqueur, violets, white flowers, and spice as well as full-bodied richness, a seamless, plump texture, and a great finish. It has a wonderful floral character, perfect balance, and a great finish.
