It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with chocolate notes, cedar, vanilla and cola.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cola, coffee, black pepper, dried figs, graphite, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville is drinking beautifully now. Big and bold. Rich and extracted.

Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Fruit forward and elegant, with great complexity, especially on the palate.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers. This 2019 vintage is drinking much better now than it was two years ago. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Wine Spectator 93 points. Robert Parker 93 points.

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

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Reminds me of a young BV George’s Latour cab. Brilliant deep fruit with a tinge of earth, lovely bouquet and full body. But this one sells for nine dollars at Costco as opposed to 125 for the BV. — 2 years ago

The description: "Flavours of garrigue, black cherry, blackberry, ground herbs and crushed-rock-like minerality. It has a traditional feel, yet does not lack for purity, balance or polish either." Wine Advocate 93/100

The opinion: actually brilliant value (125 per bottle) I have tasted much worst at a lot more. This is brilliant! I am going to buy a couple more bottles — 2 months ago

This 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Delicious, complex and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and soft. Reminds me of a Left Bank Bordeaux.

Nice round mouth feel and tatse. Fruity but not everly sweet. Nice and sweet with a pleasent and stable after taste. Would be great on its own even. Nice hints of berry. Very pleasant wine. — 2 years ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from the problematic 2020 vintage in Napa Valley.

Complex and engaging. Elegant, rich and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose, once it opened up.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

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

A great sipping wine. Nice to see low alcohol from Napa Valley.
