This is what every Cabernet Sauvignon should taste like. Despite being from Italy instead of California, this Cabernet has the richness of a Corison or other top Cabernet Sauvignon, but for less money. Deep intense stewed fruit to start with plum and blackberry, rich earthiness, chocolate and tobacco, then perfect tannins to finish. And aged just the right amount now to smooth out the tannins. Buy some if you can find it. At $67.50, this Cabernet Sauvignon was an extraordinary value. — 8 months ago
Cathy and I took this to our favorite restaurant a day before everything closed down because of COVID-19 last year, I would say that was good timing. — 3 years ago
Medium body, vibrant color with green hues and a pronounced nose of green mango, wet stone and some straw or a slight grassy element. Really a beautiful dry Riesling, with the mineral, green and grassy elements continuing on the palate with a slight acidity. — a month ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2018 “Napa Valley” pours a near opaque garnet with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a combination of tart, dark fruits: black currants, blackberries, purple flowers, dried leaf tobacco, and soft baking spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and full of energy. One of Napa’s true gems. Lovely, distinctive; a wine with personality. Drinking well now but undoubtedly has a long life ahead. 2024 through 2038+. — 15 days ago
