Hunt McKay
Morisoli Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
This wine was clearly made with high aspirations, and it meets them. It’s pretty extracted, but the tannins, while still present in abundance, are starting to settle out. The nose is complex and intense. Dark cassis, graphite, fragrant high-toned smoke, even a floral note. Good acidity. The flavors coat the palate and cling with tenacity. Probably better in 3-5, but fantastic now.

Today's wine is the 2012 Hunt McKay Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose is rich black fruit which is pleasant to the senses. I am getting notes of blackberry, black cherry, black currant, dark chocolate, graphite and violets.
The palate is confirmed with brooding dark fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black currant, vanilla, smoky oak and rich earth.
The wine is a well balanced full velvety smooth body, medium + acidity, medium + smooth tannins and a long pleasing finish. An enjoyable wine all around. Have a wonderful week and as always be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Everything one could ever want in a Cabernet Sauvignon. Definitely decant to maximize its velvety goodness.
