Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep purple in color with a short brick rim.
Fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, black plums, currants, oak, vanilla, earth, licorice, spices, coffee, cola, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and tangy on the palate with plums, cherries, sweet strawberries, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, light vinaigrette, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Napa Cabernet is very enjoyable. Showing a nice mouthfeel with mild complexity.
Good right out of the bottle and doesn't change much as it opens up.
Tangy and spicy. Tastes like a good quality Napa Merlot. Very tasty.
Thank you Wendy for sharing.
I paired it with a Charcuterie Board of meats and cheeses.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$48.

Purchased without any knowledge of this wine. Took some time to open up. For a 7 yr old wine, this impresses. At $43, I’m going back for more.

Jan 17th, 2022Dark ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cedar, cherry, chocolate, cocoa, mint, plum, strawberry jam, and vanilla. Full body; heavy, firm tannins; and medium-high acidity. Wonderful on the nose; muscular yet smooth on the palate; with a dry, lingering finish. Bold, balanced, and beautiful. Opens up incredibly on the second day.

Full bodied concentrated blackberry plumb cherry flavors but not too strong. Nice long finish. Seems slightly in filtered. Very drinkable. Can tell a little higher alcohol
