Barnett Vineyards
Rattlesnake Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Tasted alongside a 2010 Cimarossa and was rather similar in structure and character. The nose is raspberry licorice and a hint of herb. The start of this one is darker, has a similar volcanic note. Dark blackberry. The middle is where the dirty raspberry licorice starts to take over. This wine on the finish is a little more tart. Has a raspberry bread finish. Still has a TON of life left in it. This wine was really good. I will be trying to find some of this current vintage wine. This wine, to me, was WOTN. Incredible complexity. Had a nice density to it, but it had more than just being a young fruit bomb. Cheers! (apologies for the label...zoomed in way too much!)

One of my favorite Napa cabs, and without question the at the very top in terms of price/quality ratio. Immense layers of taste, in perfect harmony with each other. Only downside of drinking a bottle of this beauty is that I end up with one fewer in my cellar!
