Vaca Vista Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Very good. It was red.

Nice aromatic nose. Needs a good decant, tannins bright and chewy pnp. Plum, cherry, layers of fruit. Tight mouthfeel with a nice full finish.

This bottle is darker and more concentrated than the one I tasted about a year ago. Cassis, blackberry, clove, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and just hint of barnyard. Broad and silky with balanced acidity. High quality, though indistinguishable, Napa cab.
‘18 is the second vintage this Oak Knoll single vineyard bottling. 18 months in French oak barrel, 50% new.

This was silky smooth. I was surprised it was that good.

Great wine with steak.

Quick note from a charity dinner event. 4th bottle.
There are plenty of fresh red fruits to balance the ripe black fruits on the nose. Powerful full body, the flavor is more savory than the nose suggests. Oak is well integrated. Ample candied tannins.
Very nice cab from Oak Knoll, an AVA I’m not familiar with.

Great cab to go along with Thanksgiving dinner.

Such a fan of the style. Ripe black dirty fruit. Just slightly hot in its youth.
