It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light wild flowers and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, plums, sweet cherries, spices, vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, cedar, licorice, cola and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 5 years old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with some airtime. Tastes very fresh and young. Well balanced and complex.

I had the 2014 vintage a few years ago and loved it as well. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (60% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.

15.2% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Floral nose, easy down the hatch. Reminded me of Charles Lachaux. Not so hidden gem… — 2 days ago

8000th wine on here and it’s a doozy! Beautiful raspberry and blueberry fruit, exotic barrel notes, integrated perfectly. White pepper. Stems. Umami. Super exotic. Top notch barrels. Lighter than expected. Best domestic syrah ever? Kinda… thanks for tuning in! 8000 now and more to go. Maybe not Hahahha — 2 months ago

This was 100% CF - no sign of age, inky, w/impressive aromas of cherry cough drop, herbaceous, white pepper, medicinal - old school vibes on nose. Bit unruly on palate, definitely felt the heat and finish had some astringency. Not a huge fan of Paso Robles fruit… Still a decent quaff and scratches itch for varietal CF. — 2 months ago

Pinot noirs from the Niagara area are consistently good (if you spend enough). — a year ago

Nuanced and balanced fruit, tannins were balanced/subtle. Hits above the average Barolo for quality at this price point. A perfect wine for lunch to wrap up an Italy trip at a hidden gem of a wine bar in Firenze. — 2 years ago
