Annum Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Man o man! This is what mid range cab can and should be. Wayyyy better than Caymus and Silver Oak. If you can find it, this will rock your world. Definitely in my top 10 cabs I've ever tried. A-mazing. Soft gentle tannins, subtle fruit, and a long distinct finish. A well made wine in every aspect. If you are going to spend around a hundred on a Cabernet this is your huckleberry.

Big fruit and sweet tannins. Decanted this 2012 for four hours. Impressive for a young wine

Blackberry, cherry cola, raspberry preserves, vanilla, licorice, oak and eucalyptus. Good structure and silky tannins.

2012 vintage. Mainly Oakville (82,5%), with 14% Mount Veeder, 2% St. Helena and 1,5% Rutherford. 76% Cabernet sauvignon and 24% Cabernet franc. Impressive, very expressive nose with red and black fruits intertwined with flowers. Layers of bright fruit, great balance, terrific complexity and very long finish. Another fantastic wine from a great producer. 2012 vintage. Abv. 14,5%. 99 euro.

This was a great Christmas bottle of wine with tenderloin ...very well balanced and enjoyable with meal and a smooth finish.

Way too jammy!
Day 2 update: much better, jasmines has been tamped down. Definitely need to decant these in the future. Day 2 rating upped to 94.

Drinks like a blend. Dark berries and herbs. Dry finish. Smooth and spicy.
