Hourglass
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Healthy bright, dark red to the rim. Musky nose combines dark raspberry, mocha, chocolate, shoe polish, mint and licorice, plus a suggestion of rocky minerality. Fine-grained and smooth but distinctly minty, conveying good concentration, healthy acidity and a slight greenness to its midweight dark fruit and licorice flavors. A tad sour on the end, with a repeating suggestion of eucalyptus, but the tannins are dusty and fine-grained. I'd drink this soon, before its remaining fruit disappears.

Very impressed. I didn’t think I’d like this as much as I would. Bigger style, but tamed nicely by fiery menthol and eucalyptus tones.
