Vine Hill Ranch Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 is drinking really nicely now. Dark ruby/purple and a big bold nose of plum, vanilla, blueberry and blackberry - in that order. Not too tight or big, but medium acidity and medium large tannins. Long finish with some tobacco and leather once it has opened up a bit. Definitely not a fast sipper, the flavors linger for a good while after each sip. — 7 days ago

Good but not as great as I remembered. First time we had this we were blown away. This wasn’t better than some of our favorites and not far the price point still good! Lots of lemon and lime. — 2 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

First batch of 2021 vintage we’ve tried. We’ve been drinking a few bottles yearly since the 2015 vintage. It just never disappoint and this year is no different. Black berry, some chocolate notes, and a smooth tannin finish. I love this stuff! — 13 hours ago

Benchland Select Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Such a delicious treat that is deeply colored & ruby, trending purple; almost inky, staining the glass with each swirl.

Pronounced aromas & flavors of concentrated creme de cassis, ripe blackberry, muddled blueberry, mulberry, luxardo cherry, sandalwood, cedar, sweet tobacco, mocha, nutmeg, cardamom, anise, licorice, clove, graphite, vanilla, creme brûlée, pencil shavings, crushed gravel, & flint.

The palate is dry, viscous, mouth-filling, & opulent, with elevated acidity, alcohol (14.1% ABV), silky tannins & a persistent finish. It’s balanced, intense, & complex.

A superb 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Napa’s western bench, that is soooooo drinkable now but has the structure to age & add layers to the aromatic profile with time.

Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Really great. Needs about 3 hours of air. So well balanced. A lot of cocoa, blackberry, garden dirt, some tree bark, some chocolate cherries, but very dark, some menthol in the background, long finish, almost coffee and cocoa, some fruits as well. Outstanding! — 3 months ago
