Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

clear and pure with inky soured edges. Red fruit and salinity with a decent finish

Savory and bright with a touch of band aid. Some sour cherry fruit and a deep gnarly pluminess. A slightly peppery note in the finish

Joe Cafaro brought this to dinner.

Black cherry, raspberry preserves, cassis, dark chocolate, vanilla, licorice and oak. Full-bodied and soft tannins.

Very mature but a nice glass of wine.

Pretty orange but still interesting. Cork didn’t do its job very well.

Bottle not wine

Holding up well for the vintage.

Pretty

Gorgeous. You go, Tony Soter! So bright and youthful at 41 years of age. Cherries and cassis. Earth.
