Anomaly Vineyards
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Inky in color with a reddish rim.
Strong fruity nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and very elegant.
Showing blue and black fruits with wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, spices, chocolates and light black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now, although feels a little tight and young. Elegant and rich, but not extracted.
Fruit forward with good structure. Complex and interesting, spicy and entertaining.
Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. Aged in (80% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$235.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Strong nose of black currants, blackberries, cedar, spices, vanilla, chocolates, light alcohol, herbs and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, coffee, herbs and peppercorn.
Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant, smooth and spicy.
This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink nicely now, but still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.

An intense elegant monster that needs lots of air. From the vineyard next to Beckstoffer, Los Piedras- heady with a bolt of iron mineral, black raspberry, red licorice. Savory. Complimentary color of brilliant dark garnet that looks like it would stain everything it touches. Classy and distinctive.
