It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Strong and complex nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with great complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth, mediterranean spices, black tea and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Still young, but already delicious and extremely approachable.

Rich and extracted, soft and smooth. Elegant and nicely balanced, expressive and powerful.

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

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. A small production of less than 1,500 bottles.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here is a gorgeous Merlot.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, chocolates, sweet tobacco and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot. Easy drinking and fruit-forward. In your face kind of wine at this point. Extracted and rich.

Delicious right out of the bottle, but still young and needs many years to mature properly. Already yummy, though.

Showing very nice complexity already, which is very nice to see.

Will be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Paired wonderfully with BBQ Meats.

100% Sugarloaf Merlot grapes. A small production of only 200 cases.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

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.

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

Inky in color with a very short reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, herbs, earth, light tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Soft and smooth.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, although very approachable right now.

A delicious wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, which I didn't have, as it was finished too quickly.

Very elegant, and very enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair very nicely with a big piece of steak or Barbecue meats.

A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A small production of only 8 barrels.

14.9% alcohol by volume.
