La Sirena
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

ruby. dried bing and red cherries, cooked raspberries…will come back to nose notes. lots of fruit- think it’s a bit tight. elegant, balanced. medium short tannins pulled out by long lasting acid. very nice.

Youthful bright, full ruby. Crushed blackberry, black cherry, licorice, violet and a musky whiff of leather on the nose. Very suave and lively on entry, with intense black fruit and black olive flavors lifted by a floral element. The slightly funky quality on the nose is not apparent in the middle palate. Stands out for its finesse of texture, nicely restrained sweetness, juiciness and delineation of flavor, with its fruit element still quite youthfully vibrant. Finishes with a firm dusting of tannins, a repeating suggestion of wildness and excellent length and lift. Starting to unwind but there's still plenty of positive evolution ahead for this Cabernet, which is a blend from disparate vineyards in Napa Valley. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2020)

After the 2000 was enjoyed we jumped forward 10 years earlier. It was hard to tell the difference both were full of life and gorgeous

99' La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon. A short decant. It is structurally still there. Blackcurrant, red licorice. Little to no tannins. 90 points was kind! Drink them up soon! We have thoroughly enjoyed the 2007 in the not so distant past.

Apr 10th, 2016This was pulled from our 1996 - 2001 Vertical Box Set. Brads birthday gift a few years back. We enjoyed it with the winemaker playing Mexican Train Dominoes. Our large group reviewed some amazing bottles all just recently posted on my Delectable app. I need to use it more. What a fun night we all had even though I was in the caboose the entire night!
