Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
A work in progress. Deep red with purple tones and aromas of juicy black fruits and herb spice. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot and aged for 20 months in French oak (75% new). On the palate blueberry and blackberry flavors with notes of cacao, espresso and oak. Well balanced with tight firm tannins that need to develop. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Should be great in 5 years, put a couple in your cellar.

Dec 23rd, 2016Not a bad cab. I would get it again but wouldn't pay $40 for it.

I’m not remembering where this wine came from. I had a younger edition of this wine that was a recommendation from Total Wine a couple of years ago. This bottle didn’t live up to my expectation. At $50, I don’t think this wine is worth the price.
