Is it time for my Friday's Cabernet fix? Sure is! Let's try a Napa Cabernet.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cherries, licorice, cedar, vanilla, tobacco, cloves, chocolates, dark coffee, bonfire smoke, spices, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate, and fruity, with blueberries, black currants, vegetables, cedar, leather, earth, vegetables, vanilla, tobacco, coffee, chocolates, peppercorn and spices.

Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice surprise. A nice Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley at a decent price point. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. A Fruit forward wine that is enjoyable by itself or with food.

Needs an hour to open up properly, show some tannins and remove some of the acidity. However, not bad right out of the bottle.

Might be better in a year, but drinking very nicely now. Not one for long term aging, so drink it in the next 4 years.

A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 3% Malbec. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.


13.9% alcohol by volume.

89 points.


$25.

Ripe blackberry, black cherry, gravel, mushroom, medium bodied, pleasant lingering finish with texture and balance of gripping tannins.
