Kazumi, Cabernet Saivignon 2018 750ml
On the nose this wine showcases aromas of blueberry, blackberry and floral
notes of violet. Digging deeper, one discovers scents of cloves, caramel and a
distinctive savory character. The wine enters the palate with plush fruits of
blackberry and black cherry, followed by layers of chocolate, tea, cloves, and
savory dried herbs. This wine has a good backbone of structure and acidity
with velvety tannins. All the layers adds to the complexity of this wine for a
long finish.

Michelle is Japanese American, born in California and raised in Tokyo. For the past 10 years,she has worked in Napa Valley as the General Manager of 90 Plus Wine Club. Prior to that, she was a fashion designer for Missoni in Milan
and Armani Exchange in New York. Her love for wine began during her five years in Italy, as wine is an integral part of everyday life and Italian culture. She realized that wine has many elements of style and design that are not part of
fashion design and began to wish for a more expressive medium than apparel. She found that in wine. She loves how wine and food are universal elements that bring together people, regardless of whether you are in Italy, Japan, or
anywhere in the world. She sees how food is used to feed all senses in Japan, how food and wine bind together families, friends, and even strangers in Italy. Almost as if it was fate, herfather started 90 Plus Wine Club in Napa and recruited her to help build and manage the business. Michelle has visited hundreds of wineries and tasted countless amazing wines from around the world. Naturally, Michelle started
to dream of starting her own wine label. In 2015, her good friends, the Perrets, offered her some Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown at their Rutherford vineyard. Michelle couldn’t pass up the great opportunity to design and create Kazumi Wines, a wine for all senses
