Excellent Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine (81%) with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc (12%) and Merlot (7%). Still purple in color there is a beautiful balance of fruit (cassis, black cherry, blackberry) with oak (cedar, clove) and emerging tertiary notes of forest floor and earth. There is a lovely harmony to this wine with its understated power and delicious flavors. A wonderful experience.

A bit too extracted. Lots of dried dark fruit, leather and licorice notes with a bit of dustiness. Ripe and hot on the palate. Was expecting more out of this one.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. This afternoon we open the 2012 Miner The Oracle Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. Still at this young age needs some time to open up.
On the nose there is good black fruit, black cherry, raspberry, black currant, eucalyptus, mint, cocoa and a bit of minerality.
On the palate, the black fruit comes through with notes of black raspberry, black cherry, black currant, eucalyptus, dark rich soil and a good mineral play.
The wine is medium bodied, medium to + acidity, medium + rounded tannins with a medium to long finish. A nice well blended wine that has 5-10 years to go in bottle. I hope everyone got enough to eat and enjoyed the day with loved ones. Please continue your weekend enjoying family and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
