Holding up the best of a trio of sketchy old Loire reds. With air this reveals black currant, mesquite, tobacco, tomato leaf and slightest hint of raspberry. Still excellent but needs food — 3 hours ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

Pretty nose of red fruits with light wood, chocolates, sweet tobacco, and Indian spices.

Medium-plus in body and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, peppercorn and light earth.

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

This 8-year-old Napa Cabernet is drinking very nicely now. Soft and smooth.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours in the decanter.

Complex with good structure and mouthfeel. Spicy and fruit-forward. Delicious and interesting.

Wine Advocate 93 points.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is always tasty.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. Aged in (60% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

9.1

Dark, inky crimson with a pale rose rim.
Bouquet of a forest of brambles and vegetables.
A sort of salinity sits in the center of the flavor, rounded out by other mineral complexities. The finish is medium-long with some acidity. — 3 months ago
