Carte Blanche Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Happy New Year! 🍷

This was Missouri Hopper before they put it on the label.

Missouri is a vineyard that is an earthy mineral buffet. This bottle is as well a dry herb assortment. Excellent dark, ripe fruits.

While the 16 is very good, the 18 is a forget about bottle that will continue to improve for many years.

I follow Winemaker’s and this one is Helen Keplinger! Enough said.

97-98 in another 5-8 years.

This is off the charts good. I’m not a huge cab guy but we went for steaks and this was money! Beautiful, opulent and and velvety. I would buy this all day for $150

Just as we expected!!

Great cab, ripe jammy black and blue fruits...smooth yet medium plus tannin, mint, jalapeño, nice oak on wine..and the acidity holds all together. Perfect. Paired great with our wagyu steaks...

As good as Paul Hobbs. Beckstoffer vinyard

Decanted for about 1 hour. Gorgeous with a streak. Nose and taste lasted all night. Ok that was about 1 hour of sipping. 2012 vintage.

Jeb 💯, great Cabernet for the price,

Gravel + Tobacco = Friday 🍷👍🏼
