Matthiasson
Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon
Lovely lovely bottle of wine right here. Gorgeous aromatics of rose petal, sweet cherry, eucalyptus, mint, and some earthy funk. Palate is as poised, smooth, and soft as you'll ever find in a Napa cab, which is not to say it's light-bodied.. not at all. Rich, but uber-soft on the palate. Like a silk dress. Awesome wine.

Oct 28th, 2015Tight on the nose, but you can immediately see that it's got so much to give. Gripping tannin with a barrage of dark red and black fruit and acidic backbone that'll keep it going for years...all under 14%abv.
