It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

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

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing plums, blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, earth and dark chocolates.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and elegant. Tangy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 3 hours of airtime.

This 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in (78% new) French Oak barrels for 20 months.

15.2% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

An amazing entry level of Amici’s Cab Sauv. blend (80% Cab Sauv, 7% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cab Franc). Solid and never disappoints. It offers a great abundance of black berries and dark cherry on the nose, pleasant mouthfeel, velvety, smooth, progressive and intense. Tannins are rounded and it has a potential to age. — a month ago

Pleasantly surprised. ‘97s have been fairly consistent as they’ve aged (not sure they’ve reached the hype of expectations, but some have), and this being a low-barrier to entry purchase from a reputable producer made it an easy choice to acquire.

Followed over a few hours from bottle and it held strong.

Faded color with the red core starting to dull. Quick whiff of some VA, but it dissipated quickly. Aromatics of old pipe tobacco, fig and brambly red fruits. Old school Napa on the palate (13.8 ABV) with a more lively profile…red and black fruits with cedar, more tobacco and some dark cacao (which turned to a confectionary chocolate Tootsie Roll taste at the finish). Acidity is hanging in there but definitely in the drink-now zone. — 13 days ago

Great cab, with a softer approach than many CA cabs at this price point. In TN with Don. — 2 days ago

Enjoyable with an abundance of fruit and soft tannins. I was hoping to wait, sadly it was my last bottle. — 23 days ago
