Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Strong nose of blueberries, cooked cherries, blackberries, tobacco leaf, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, light herbs, Indian spices and black pepper.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cooked cherries, mediterranean spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous 14 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced and spicy, with great complexity. Fruit forward and elegant, tangy and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after an hour, when the complexity shows up. I did not decant it and let it open in the bottle.
I had this vintage 6 years ago, and it is drinking at the end of its peak now and will continue to do so for the next few years.
A great sipping wine that also paired nicely with my prime rib steak.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$50 (at release).

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a beautiful one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby/inky in color with a short reddish/ brick rim. Doesn't show much age.
Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, blackberries, raisins, figs, dark coffee, dark chocolates, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, licorice, light earth, Mediterranean spices and peppercorn.
Full-bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, cooked cherries, raisins, vanilla, cola, cedar, licorice, tobacco, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, pencil lead, earth and light black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
What a wonderful surprise this is. This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is delicious.
Rich and opulent, elegant, powerful and classy. Showing great complexity with a very nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 2 hours of airtime, so be patient. Loved the tangy long finish going on for a while.
Peaking now and will be good in the next 5 years.
This is so tasty all by itself, but will go very nicely with a nice piece of steak.

Soft balanced great finish love the producer ever since I had the regular 12' which was a real treat. Surprisingly this was available at Whole Foods for about 3 months....
