Clos Pegase
Estate Bottled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
How gorgeous is this? Unbelievable structure. Made to go long term. Beautiful dusty nose reminiscent of the "Rutherford dust." Chalky, punishing tannins only adding to the ability for this to be aged. Eucalyptus and mint. A dirty chalky spiciness throughout. Some surprising racy acidity. This is the real deal for old world style Napa Cabernet.

Apr 7th, 2019Ripe cherry with a peppery finish. Nice to drink even with the strong tannins. Would pair well with a big fat steak!

Nov 2nd, 2018Superb Cabernet Sauvignon. Full of complex berries and firm tannins. A big wine but still round enough after breathing to be really enjoyable.

Apr 8th, 2018Pepper, vanilla, sweet cassis, and a touch of toasted wood on the nose. Raspberry jam and black licorice hit at first, but as the wine rests into the palate it shows great tannin structure, vanilla, and spice.
