Cuttings California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a beautiful one from California.
Dark inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of cooked blackberries, sweet cherries, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, chocolates, cola, mocha, coffee, peppercorn, earth, leather, tobacco and light alcohol. Delicious nose.
Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, cooked black cherries, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, mocha, coffee, peppercorn and earth.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a wonderful Cabernet blend. Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel. Delicious and yummy.
Good by itself or with food. Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and shows the tannins.
This 7 year old from the great 2013 vintage, still has so much fruits, that it needs another 5 years to relax. Rich, elegant and extracted.
Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petite Sirah, Syrah and Zinfandel.
15.4% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$55.

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Started flabby and never really turned into anything interesting. Obnoxious quantities of vanilla and confected fruit. Little else. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of these types of wines on the market right now. QPR is atrocious.

Fat and unctuous. Big chocolate-raspberry palate.

1 person found it helpfulAug 23rd, 2016Drank over a few days - ready to go out of the bottle. Typical bold red and black fruit, full body wine, smoother tannins with some strong acidity. Not a ton of depth here but does its job well with a bone in ribeye.

Big and bold as hell. Dark berries, chocolate, thick and a great finish.

Rico pero no creo que se pueda definir como Cabernet. Frutoso, oscuro y syrupy. (V Suarez) vin 2013

Oct 17th, 2016This is some real deal shit. Blue-black berries nose with slight licorice and leather. A perfect sphere in my mouth--hits everything equally. The zin comes out subtly. Really amazing.
