Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short dark red rim.

Fruit forward on the nose with black fruits, cedar and chocolate notes.

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

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth, cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This difficult 2020 vintage is showing beautifully now. Soft and elegant, rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel, complex and entertaining

I had this vintage a couple of years ago, and it's even better now. Delicious right out of the bottle, and gets more complex as it opens up.

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

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$50.

Not sure why there is so much love for this at this point. The bitterness on the finish was a real turnoff. I did enjoy the aromatics and texture — a month ago

Awesome producer! 1hr+ decant. Lovely red color. Nose had pencil shavings and vibrant fruit. Classic Napa sweetness on the palate with caramel integrated with cedar. Napa all the way but unique in its own special way! — a month ago

Post dinner party notes. Third bottle I’ve had of this and by far the best yet. Amazing. Such a complex nose, with roasted herbal notes, dark spicy fruit, earthy mineral iodine notes Tannins just about completely resolved. Length and depth for days. Wow. — 3 months ago

Interesting. I might have this wine as well. I seem to recall it was so super oaky, couldn’t taste anything. Glad to read that it became more balanced.

Good stuff. I don’t recall what I paid but if less than a $100 it was a steak. Nice blueberry note upfront. Then smooth as silk. — a month ago
