Riboli Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Review
The Riboli Family Winery is a very American story. A couple immigrated from Lombardia, Italy to Los Angeles and began a winery. Years later nephew Stefano Riboli, who apprenticed at the family business, went off to begin his own winery in Paso Robles. This bottle, however, hails from Napa, which is known for plump, voluminous Cabs and this bottle is a great example of that. Big and plump with notes of mocha and vanilla on the nose with a waft of pepper. The palate is soft with some faded tannins and good natural acidity bringing a fruity finish.
