2017 MAXVILLE ORANOS NAPA VALLEY RED "The Maxville 2017 Oranos Red Wine opens with supple notes of black plum and black cherry, blackberry compote, baking spices, sweet tobacco, and dark potting soil. On the palate, the wine has velvety tannins and flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate frosting, black licorice, and sarsaparilla. This wine has developed quite nicely in the bottle, and though it will continue to do so, it's drinking very well presently, with a soft mouthfeel and a silky, smooth finish." 94 Points
