Post Parade 'Stretch Drive' Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa Valley, California

Post Parade was born from Kentucky-born Brook Smith's passion for thoroughbred racing, with the name capturing that transcendent moment when horses enter the racetrack before the starting gate. Under the masterful guidance of acclaimed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown since 2010, this Stretch Drive bottling showcases fruit from some of Napa Valley's premier sites including Panek Vineyard and Oakville Ranch. This vintage delivers exceptional balance and approachability, ready to enjoy now yet built to age gracefully for over a decade.

Tasting Notes

Exhibits a deep purple hue with dark violet halo in the glass. Interwoven aromatics suggest currant, loam, pine bough, and lilac, with waves of macerated boysenberry, plum, and cocoa. The palate offers mouth-coating notes of blackberry reduction, pomegranate, mocha, and baking spice, balanced by finely-integrated tannins and bright acidity. Finishes long and floral with remarkable depth and concentration.
