Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy oak spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, raspberry and currants @ with espresso, cacao and earthy notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine ripe tannins long ending with fruit, oak, mineral and tobacco spice! Nice Napa Cab!

Sometimes you need a Napa Cab, great vintage, aged nicely, could've waited another 10 years, wild berries, tobacco, black olive, 2005

Another vintage of yawn. Great nose but a short finish, black fruit, lots of green pepper and black tea. The alcohol is a little out of balance too. If it were $20 it would be fine. But it's not.

Quick finish, lacks bold bouquet, too watery. Enjoyable but save for less unimpressive use

After having the ‘16, I went back to my notes on the ‘15 and they mirror exactly what I was writing for the ‘16.
Nose was more floral than jammy, with violets, blackberries, nutmeg and some blueberries. Well balanced and approachable on the palate, with a nice black cherry/blueberry finish. The ‘16 had a bit more complexity with added cedar/birch wood notes too.
The ‘15 and ‘16 are their best wines to date in my opinion, and wonderful values at around $45/bottle.

What?! 8.9??? Has everyone lost their mind?!
It's like someone scrubbed a suckling and roasted it all day in the sexy earth and then put tapenade on it.

Very enjoyable! Haven't had this in a while and it was quite nice.

Deep purple-ruby color.
Aromas of buttered toast, cassis, blackberry
Dry. Flavors of ripe blackberry, brioche, licorice, hint of vanilla. Rich, silky tannins. Bright acidity provides freshness. Very nice!
Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5
