Oberon
Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon
Good cab, takes some time to open up. Not all that noteworthy though. A bit short on the palate.

Feb 28th, 2021Slightly sweet spiced aroma. Not tart but little dry clean mouthfeel. Good by itself, good with smokehouse almonds, probably good with steak.

Jan 29th, 2021This wine opened up super well, and I love the body of the wine. I’ve been looking for a wine that was well balanced, not too fruity - but fruity enough, and just right on the tannins. I’m going to recommend this as a wine everyone should have on their shelf as a just in case

Jun 25th, 2020I recoiled at the sharpness of the first sip. It has strong aromas of licorice and cough syrup. It seemed to mellow with time.

Apr 4th, 2020Supple tannins. Ripe fruits, blackberries, cherry. Slightly spicy. 2015. Great for price point of $22. Went well with grilled pork chops
