It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Pretty nose of blueberries, blackberries, plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs, spices, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, black tea, peppercorn and espresso.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Soft, rich and elegant. Fruit forward, easy drinking and not in your face kind of wine.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime, which I didn't have this time.

This 9 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired nicely with grilled Lamb chops.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 20 months. A small production of 7,200 bottles.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Very austere. Lemongrass, lemons, peach, stones, a hint of underlying bread, but a huge amount of acidity. Very good with fish. — 7 months ago

Pop and pour. 1st time trying Ad Vivum and their Yountville sleeping lady vineyard. On the nose: subdued notes of blackberry, mint, dark chocolate, soil. Taste: a smooth, creamy, silky wine with black raspberry, smoke, cedar, earth, and a spiced bitter chocolate medium finish. — 5 months ago

This is the first time having this varietal. It’s super flavorful and bright on the front and mid palate. No finish. But you wouldn’t expect it out of this varietal. Good depth and a touch of funk. They did a great job with this one — 2 years ago

Dark and brooding, the flagship 2017 Lady May from Glenelly is effusive from the first pour, with aromas of black cherry, purple herbs, baking spice and chocolate. The palate is distinctly savoury, with a spicy quality that represents quite a contrast from prior vintages. This is an altogether quite serious offering and perhaps lacks the glossy suave character of, say, the 2015, which I prefer at this stage. But this should be absolutely fantastic in around 5-10 years’ time and I can’t wait to try it again. — 5 months ago

2018 Kinsman Eades Anjea… admittedly very young and still a little tannic, but unfurled a bit after time in the glass with a great nose and flavors of blackberries, blueberry pie, black cherries.. a hint of iron and herbs in the background! This will only get better with time! Even better the following day!! — a year ago
