Calculated Risk Winery Atlas Peak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, California
Time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Napa Valley.
Inky in color with a short purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blackcurrants, cedar, black plums, cooked cherries, vanilla, licorice, spices, light herbs, tobacco, dark coffee, chocolates and black pepper.
Full-bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, vegetables, spices, chocolates, wet leaves, tobacco, diet cola and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Big bold and extracted.
Still young and needs another five years in the bottle to mature. Will be better in the next 5 to 15 years.
Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Needs time to open up and bring out the tannins. I let it open up for 2 hours. Gets earthier after 2 hours of airtime.
Very unique and interesting. Not what I expected from a Napa Cabernet. Would love to try it again in 5 years. Will probably be a 94-5 point wine.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$105.
