Ellman Cabernet Sauvignon Jemma Napa Valley 2020
The 2020 Ellman Jemma Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning expression of Napa Valley, capturing both the power of the vintage and the elegance that defines this flagship bottling. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot, it opens with deep aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, and crushed violets, layered with hints of licorice, cardamom, and dried flowers. Rich and full-bodied, the palate delivers concentrated black fruit wrapped in a silky yet structured texture, with polished tannins that provide immediate appeal while promising exceptional longevity. Crafted by renowned winemaker Andy Erickson, this is a beautifully balanced Cabernet that combines intensity with finesse, offering remarkable purity, complexity, and a finish that lingers long after the final sip.
