Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It's Friday and I have to get my Cabernet fix. Supporting Napa this week.
Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, cedar, leather, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, spices, smoke, mocha, cola, graphite, earth and black pepper.
Full bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate, and fruity, with blueberries, cherries, plums, dried figs, tobacco, spices, cola, cedar, leather, earth, chocolates, mint and peppercorn.
Long finish with round, fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This great Napa Cabernet is very enjoyable now. Smooth and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel. Well balanced, complex and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle. I would have probably liked it better a year ago when the tannins were more noticeable.
This is so nice as a sipping wine, but also good with food. Delightful and delicious.
13.9% alcohol by volume.

Bold with a mildly sweet after taste, dark plums and berries. Good for a backyard BBQ - chicken?
