Broken Rock Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for a delicious Cabernet on this #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a pretty reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked raisins, cedar, figs, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, Mediterranean spices, coffee, light earth, eucalyptus and mint.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, oak, vanilla, raisins, eucalyptus, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon from a great vintage in Napa Valley. This Single Vineyard is elegant, rich and fruit forward.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Peaked at 3 hours in the decanter.
This 9 year old is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.
I've had it over a year ago, and it is drinking even better now. Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot and Petit verdot. Aged for 28 months in mostly new French Oak barrels. A tiny production of less than 5 barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$115.

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a gorgeous one from the great 2013 Napa vintage.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Gorgeous nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, raisins, figs, chocolates, cedar, light vanilla, coffee, licorice, light earth, tobacco, wildflowers, Mediterranean spices and a touch of pencil lead.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, black plums, oak, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and earth.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, elegant and very tasty. Fruit forward with a beautiful nose.
This 8 year old aged very nicely and is drinking wonderfully now. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 3 hours in the decanter.
Spicy with a soft mouthfeel. Shows nice complexity and balance. I just love these Napa Bordeaux blends.
A good wine to sip on all by itself, but good with food as well. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 3% Petit verdot. Aged for 28 months in (70% new) French Oak barrels. A small production of only 108 cases.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
