Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Floral nose, laced with sandalwood. Palette is focused and presents like a Ridge cab. Needs air, but is brimming with complexity. Blackberries and blueberries blend nicely with a robust, tannic structure. This has another 5 - 7 years on its drinking plateau. An ethereal example, which is probably not for the “hit-n-run,” pop n pour Napa tribe 🙂

I’m tasting a lot of cranberries. This is not a meaty Cabernet by any stretch, but enjoyable nonetheless. It should be pointed out though, that I’m drinking this bottle past it’s window.

Open very nicely for a 2010. Even better after a long day on the ski slopes

American. Cult. Cab. Big and oaky, very restrained at first. Your options are to decant, cellar for a decade, or drink on the second day. The second day is fantastic. The second day is like when you first get to college and realize you no longer have a curfew.

Nice big flashy new world Cab. Cassis, brambly, jammy, bit-o-tannin. Fresh fruit for a 7 year old. Big long finish. Very good value. Drink or hold.
