Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color.
Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Long finish with fine grained tannins.
This is a very young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after a couple of hours of airtime.
Not the best vintage, but delicious nonetheless. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Robert Parker 91 points.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 21 months in (75% new) French oak barrels.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$135.

Blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, deep dark ruby red, aged for 21 months in French oak (75% new), aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spices and herbs. The palate shows blackberry, juicy black cherries and currants, big, full tannins, complex and well balanced. Complex with notes of leather, tobacco, cacao, espresso and earthy character on a long finish. Very Nice.

This wine is quite young and at this stage is mainly showing off a heavy hand with oak. Fruit will emerge over time - black currant, black cherry, black plum, blackberry and violet are struggling against the heavy oak to come out. This is a high extraction wine, to my palate a little ponderous and out of balance but many will love the wine’s brawny appeal.

Very cherry. One dimensional. Good structure with tannins that need an hour. Old school Cali cab.

Nice standard Napa cab. Soft acids, easy but fun spices. Opens up quickly and drinks smoothly.
