J. McClelland
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Big bold and heavy on the palette. Big fat berry flavor of plums, blueberry, and a hint of tobacco. Mild tannins and a lingering finish.

Dec 9th, 2015Deep ruby, almost purple in color; cassis, black cherries, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberries, black plums, and wet rocks with a long finish.

Feb 9th, 2024Excellent wine with pork loin. Strong flavors of black cherry and well balanced. A long finish—hoping I can buy another bottle!

Jun 16th, 2021Bought from Hinton’s at recommendation of sales clerk but not Sommalier. Nice easy to drink wine. Not heavy. Had with chateau elite. Would have again depending on price.

May 26th, 2021Dark purple in color. Black cherry nose with cherry and currant on the palate. Nice wine now, but could be better with age.

May 2nd, 2020Not great for a Napa Cabernet. It was a little too acidic and had a bitter aftertaste. The tasting note say notes of berries, currant and spice. I didn’t get that. Disappointed.

Oct 25th, 20192014 - loving it. Tasting the oak. On the drier side and finishes very pleasant.
After 1 hour - this wine keeps getting better. I keep looking at the bottle and my hubby and saying, this is a keeper. I'm a merlot fanatic but this cab is winning me over.

Great QPR! Wow! Fruit forward with blueberries raspberries & stewed plum. Nice supporting structure of oak leather & mineral. Supple tannins make it a great value
