Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, tobacco, dark coffee, spices, chocolates, light herbs, light alcohol and peppercorn.
Full bodied and refined with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, cooked cherries, plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs, spices, chocolates, peppercorn, licorice and light pencil lead.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 4-year-old Oakville Cabernet. Elegant and smooth. Rich, yet too not extracted.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 2 hours of airtime.
A great sipping wine. Tangy and interesting. Spicy and entertaining.
I had the 2019 a couple of years ago and loved it as well.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. Aged in mostly French oak barrels (40% new) for 28 months. A tiny production of only 5 barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$95.
