Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Very enjoyable and met expectations. Tannins are sharp, fruit is medium long on the finish. Needs a few years to mellow out.

Exceptional, well balanced Cabernet from Napa. Rather young at this point, could benefit from a few more years in the bottle. At this age, it really opens up after about an hour of air. Medium bodied with slight fruit, it’s acidic at first but that falls off after some time in glass. Not the best but this is very enjoyable!

Had on Aug 10, 2023.

Nose: stone, blackberry, slate, mountain river, graphite, currant, leaves, GRAPES, very slight lavender. Smells like a beautiful Napa cab, if a little tight - decanted for less than an hour. Taste: a little bitter cocoa, medium bodied, purple, smooth tannins, tea. Could use a bit more acid. Elegant. Overpriced. But elegant. Do love a good Napa cab.

It’s fine. It’s pretty ok. But I wouldn’t spend the money on it again.

So good at volpis

Full and heavy with black currant nose and palate, not for everybody

Really smooth and balanced Cab. Dry berry flavors.

On the nose cool, ripe boysenberries, blackberries, and plums with myriad baking spices, eucalyptus, sweet pipe tobacco, and graphite. On the palate juicy blackberries and plums with cedar and licorice, all laced in voluptuous, velvety tannins.

Matt.... goodies are in the back room. Yes they are.... great wine. Smooth. Jammy but in a good way.
