Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This may be the best American Cabernet that no one knows about. Very small yield; jump on it any chance you can get. Big, big, big, wine!

Feb 22nd, 20152010 vintage. Great expression of napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe fruit, savory notes, and big yet smooth tannin.

Jan 31st, 2015Dark muddy ruby color. (Wine was not filtered). Tertiary notes come flying out of the glass (wet soil, tobacco dried violets) with a hint of dried black fruit. Dried blackberry and prune on the palate with additional touches of dark chocolate, beef jerky and oak. Nice balance. I honestly thought that this was an Old World wine. Well crafted. Interesting wine, John B!
