McGah Family Cellars
Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
An experiment. So consistently strong, and clearly has longevity. No rush to consume these…
So decadent, going close to the explosive line, but doesn’t cross it. Blueberries and rich black fruits mesh with sandalwood and brown sugar. Weighty on the mid palate with relaxed acidity. This is epic. Still in its prime so consume now.

Dark and brooding, just like yours truly. The most beautiful label on the market. Challenge me on my assertion 😉

Feb 11th, 2023Open knit and seamless. Displays a ripe fruit profile without decadence. A core of laser-focused cherries and brambly fruit combine with rock-solid tannins and nice acidity. Outstanding length and persistence on the finish. Superb effort.

It's time for a delicious Cabernet on this #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, mocha, pencil lead, alcohol, peppercorn, leather and tobacco.
Full bodied, big, bold, rich and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, figs, cooked cherries, black licorice, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark coffee.
Long finish with round tannins, tangy cherries and spices.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from a great vintage in Napa. Rich, powerful and tasty.
Still young, but already very yummy, and will age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years. Will probably be a 96+ point wine in 5 years.
This 6 year old is good right out of the bottle, but better as it opens up. I let it open up for 90 minutes, but I'm sure another couple of hours would have been a better choice.
Thank you Kim and Barry for sharing this delicious wine with me.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$70.(current vintage)
