Hidden Block Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light wild flowers and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, plums, sweet cherries, spices, vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, cedar, licorice, cola and chocolates.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious 5 years old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with some airtime. Tastes very fresh and young. Well balanced and complex.
I had the 2014 vintage a few years ago and loved it as well. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (60% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$70.
