Calla Lily
Ultimate Red Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, figs, raisins, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, cedar, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and red chili powder.
This five-year-old is drinking very nicely now and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Showing a great nose, once it opens up (4 hours). I had it before, and this time I gave it a much longer decant, which really benefited the nose.
A great wine to have all by itself and talk about. Will be interesting to try it in five years.
Delicious, rich, extracted and fruit forward.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A small production of only 42 barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$65.

Dark ruby in color, almost black, with a nice reddish cloudy rim.
Great nose of blueberries, blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, light earth, chocolates, coffee, mint and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, stewed cherries, chocolates, cedar, leather, licorice, cola, vanilla, light earth, spices, peppercorn, tobacco and cocoa.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. This will not disappoint you, as it is true to the terroir. Rich and tangy. Spicy, elegant and fruit forward.
Still young and would be even better in 5 to 10 years of bottle time. Nevertheless, it is already delicious.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after a couple of hours of airtime. Tannins come in after 2 hours.
