Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Oak Knoll, Napa Valley, California, USA
Tasted at the Taste of Yountville.
Deep garnet red with a touch of ruby. Quite a bit of gravel on the nose with strawberries, leather, cassis and black cherries. Medium tannins (6.5/10) with a medium plus body. Smooth palate with some extraction. Great backbone too with layers of forest floor, baking spices and dark cherries. Long finish. Drink till 2028.
Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Rossi Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District. Aged for 22 months in 70% new French oak barrels.

Fruit up front plum and currant and a long finish of lead pencil and wet stone. My wife who doesn’t like cab did like this wine

Beautiful scents of raspberries, vanilla on open. Uncorked are 8am and drank at 8pm and the wine had rounded out beautifully. This is a big boy wine! Berry pie, hint of leather. Plush, long finish. Amazing with prime strip steak at #elche in Chicago

Oct 3rd, 2020An under the radar producer that always delivers. Dark garnet in the glass. Scents of plum, vanilla, toast and spice. Black fruit, anise, and a velvety mouthfeel. Tannins have softened and the savory notes are starting to emerge. The finish is nice and smooth, if a bit short. Time will be this bottle’s friend. 2013 vintage #handwrittenwines #napacabs
