Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Perfect with the orchestra play Glenn Miller - and Ara isn’t that old.

Glorious Napa Valley Cabernet. In a good place and likely to stay there for a long time.

Dad got this as a Christmas present and opened it at dinner. Zero acid. Nothing going on. Nothing off, but nothing good. At 80 bucks a bottle someone should be ashamed.

Thirty minute decant. Wow. Opulent fruit: currants & plums come in a tidal wave. Tobacco and some spice box with a little green bell pepper. Finish lasts at least 30 seconds. Soft as velvet. Held up great over two days. Tremendous.

Winery is defunct but wine is still fine. Ripe red fruit, overripe banana, oaky. Alcohol a bit high, astringent finish.

Brief decant. Big, luscious nose of red currant, spice, bell pepper. Racy acid, soft tannin. Extra ripe. Nice “Thursday night” wine.

This winery is out of business now, I've been told...sweet berries, very smooth, classic Napa cab, nicely balanced

Heavy body heavy tannin. Great nose

Drinking wonderfully now. Cassis, licorice, lavender, plum jam, vanilla, currant, pepper. Chalky, dusty. Firm. A treat

Expected more for the price.
