Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Pam had this 9 years ago

Yum

Grabbed this by accident at Sam's Club. Hubby liked it but I didn't. Light wine with no real depth. But also easy to drink. Split decision here.

Took a gamble with a Sam's Member Mark wine. Not bad, a nice nose, some tobacco, plum and cherry. Great legs. A little flat up front but improved with a little time as I prepared dinner. Would certainly consider for a casual dinner party wine at $17. Cheers.

Average flavor. Not worth $15. Many more wines under $15 that taste better.

Kind of disappointing. For a Napa Cab Sauv it was very flat and underwhelming. A strong nose of chocolate but not much going on on the palate. I didn't have this with food, perhaps a good pairing would help. However, I would not recommend this particular vintage.

It gets better with age, December 2015

2013 Cab with a medium body. Plum and berry with a little pepper. Tannins need to mellow. Was a little better after opening up a bit. Did not seem to have the lush, big mouth feel of Napa Cabs.

It had a sour kind of bite but left my mouth feeling bitter

Nice tanins, tart
