Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Best on day 3. 2020 vintage. Deep, plush, round, Prominent fruit framed on a sturdy backbone of acidity and tannins.

Anything sexier than picking out your very own countertops and new cabinetry ??? Oh the wine is fine , more like drinking port than red wine but tasty in thimbleful doses.

Well made Napa Cab by the esteemed Mike Smith. Beautiful and balanced.

More than a mouthful! #TuesdayWine

The evolution of this bottle over two plus hours in decant is remarkable. Aromatic. Full bodied, dark red/black fruit, white pepper, black licorice. Excellent!

Delicious

Prior notes apply. Excellent in a challenging vintage.

So enjoying this cab. This is seamless, plush, and caresses the palate. Excellent tannic structure is joined by subdued acidity. Great fruit profile of ripe cherries and blueberries. Finishes with coffee notes and nutmeg. Textbook Napa cab, which is drinking perfectly now.
Last evening in Aruba... sniff.

Few words are required here. Brilliant effort from Mike Smith in a challenging year.

too young to open
