Carneros Creek Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
One of the best cabs I’ve enjoyed in recent memory. Fresh and fully alive despite a mid shoulder fill. Wild herbs, cassis, and dried pasilla pepper.

Jul 7th, 2024Still kicking solid! Beautiful and engaging nose. Wonderfully aged characteristics with some nice primary fruit qualities still evident. Really enjoyable.

Mar 22nd, 2016Very elegant Napa Cab with typical warm spiced fruit, cedar, cinnamon, great balance & finely grained beautifully integrated tannins. 13.1% alc, on label but think it's higher. Lasted 30 mins before crashing.

Oct 28th, 2018Another nice 1980 Cabernet from the Fay Vineyard. Elegant with nice cherry fruit. Opened up nicely after 10-15 minutes. Drinking well now. Drink over next year or two

Jan 14th, 2017The 1980 Carneros Creek Cabernet Sauvignon from the Truchard Vineyard located in the Carneros is drinking beautifully! Great depth of cherry and cassis in the nose. Packed with fruit on the palate. Long fruit finish with firm tannins. Drinks well now but will hold for another 5+ years. Great wine!
