McGah Family Cellars
Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
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)

First Scarlett. Enjoyed very much. Gobs of fruit -- think will really benefit with some bottle age.

YES! 2h of decant and it starts to show its potential. Will revisit year from now.

Very nice. Probably would have benefited from more air time

Even better with a little more age on it,
Hard to beat this at $65.00

This one could use air to round it out a little but has all the stuffing and good QPR.

Since Mike Smith signed it can I get a free refill? This is a great under $75.00 Cabernet.
