Method
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
2019 vintage. Solid Napa juice for under $25 (which is nearly impossible these days). Good depth/structure with a plushy, elegant dark fruit finish.

JUST OPENED AND POURED WITH AN AERATOR: Smells a bit of dust and graphite … and alcohol. Definitely boozy. Tastes like dark cherry. Tiny bit of violet. Tannin. A little bitter. Less texture than I like. I’ve had this before and it was better (much more big Napa cab taste), but it’s pretty good. Not worth the $17 I paid - too bad I bought a case. Oh well. Hopefully more air will improve it. EDIT: BETTER THE NEXT DAY, STILL NOT UP TO THE FIRST COUPLE BOTTLES I TRIED.

Hidden Gem. Worth much more than it sells for. The perfect balance of fruit and oak hints without one taking over the other. One of my favorites!

Feb 3rd, 2021Smooth, pleasant. Deep red body, nice legs and a pleasant bouquet. I normally like a peppery or tannin wine and this teases with hints of those. Not over powering.

Recommended by the Irish guy what’s his name in Yountville. We say the 2015 for half the price of the 2014 at another place.... but it was damn bold and good. Crowd pleaser.
