Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Deeply extracted, purple. Vegetal-dominant nose. Not much else. Palate adds a little vanilla, wood, and some bitter cherries. Quite serrated. Not well-integrated. Disappointed, considering past experiences with this producer.

Solid Napa cab for every day drinking. Good fruit and finish. Found it for $30/bottle in 6-bottle quantity; good deal at that price.

Burns a bit on the back end. Heavy fruit aroma. A bit light on the palate.

Ok. Nothing to write home about. Drank harsh and alcoholic. Might get better with age. Glad we tried especially for the price but would probably skip.

A blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 13% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot & 1% Malbec. Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, sweet floral spice and jammy scents. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry flavors with vanilla and nutty spices. Good structure, fine juicy tannins, medium+ finish ending with an oaky sweet fruit character. Drink now.

Quite a surprise for a ‘98. Good balance. Intense flavor and full color. Long finish. Perfect with lamb osso buco for Easter.

While yummy it seems to be lacking precision and blind could easily pass for Chilean Cab or a Syrah. Blue flowers and ripe blackberry fruit. Ultra ripe smooth tannins. It’s an enjoyable wine, don’t get me wrong, but it lacks mojo

Nice, dark fruited Napa Cab. Still fairly concentrated, w blackberry jam, chocolate and spice flavors

2008 Napa vintage is underrated. Fruit silk in a bottle. This was one of the smoothest wines I've ever had..
