It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here's a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend.

Full bodied with medium acidity and elegant.

Dry and very fruity on the palate.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, cola, light herbs, Mediterranean spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite and light dark coffee.

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant, thick and fruit forward.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Showing great complexity, although still young, and drinking very nicely right out of the bottle.

This 2016 was a great vintage and it is definitely showing. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Soft and smooth. Rich and extracted. Delicious . I just love these Napa Bordeaux blends.

I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses, and will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. Made by Russell Bevan.

15.2% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, eucalyptus and black tea.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black plums, cherries, black currants, peppercorn, cola, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State is drinking beautifully now.

Elegant and nicely balanced, with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Rich and extracted, fruit forward and smooth.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had this vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking much better now.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

Bold, delicious and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I paired it with a charcuterie board and it paired beautifully with the Italian prosciutto.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (93% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black plums, black cherries, red currants, light cedar, coffee, light earth, herbs, light vegetables and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, coffee, oak, light cloves, earth, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs, peppercorn, light licorice and green tea.

Tangy finish with fine grain tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Napa valley. Showing nice complexity with an elegant mouthfeel.

Needed 2 hours in a decanter to open up.

This 8-year-old Merlot is still drinking beautifully. Lost some of its fruits, and it is very dry now.

Drinking at its peak, and will not get any better from here. Really loved the nose at this point.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with barbecue meats or burgers. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

Consumed 30-Mar-2025. Dark purple red. Nose is abundant and yields blackberry and blueberry compote. Juicy medium full palate echoes the nose with ashy blackberry taking the lead. Juicy acidity. Medium minus tannins. Lingering, dark finish. An Old World feel makes this Washington GSM blend a great choice for hearty meals year round from the grill to the hearth. Rich meat and vegetable stews will shine. Drink now through 2031. — a year ago

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Columbia Valley in Washington State.

Very dark in color, and looks very young.

Full-bodied, smooth and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, raisins, dried figs, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, earth and coffee.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This 8 year old is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Smooth and elegant. Rich and extracted, with a great mouth feel.

Good by itself or with food. A great wine to sip on and talk about.
