Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Good right out of the bottle and gets earthier as it opens up.
Showing black fruits with earth, cedar, leather, chocolates, light vanilla, light vegetables, pencil lead, Mediterranean spices, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Needs 3 years to mature properly, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.
Dry on the palate, tangy and rich, with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and fruit forward right out of the bottle.
Really changes every 20 minutes in the decanter. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$60.

It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
On the nose blueberries, black currants, black plums, cedar, earth, vegetables, vanilla, bell peppers, tobacco, light wet leaves, dark chocolates, dark coffee, graphite and black pepper.
Full-bodied and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked strawberries, spices, earth, chocolates, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Already drinking very nicely, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Showing nice complexity, especially on the nose, and a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with a tangy finish.
Showing lots of earth notes that I wasn't expecting. Made it more interesting. Will be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. I gave it 2 hours.
Good by itself or with food. Will pair very nicely with a big piece of steak. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 3% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 28 months in mostly French oak barrels (40% new). A very small production of only 125 cases.
