It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix . Here is a gorgeous one from Napa.

Deep purple in color with a short purplish rim.

Fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, cherries, figs, spices, light cedar, toast, vanilla, licorice, graphite, black pepper, herbs, tobacco, chocolates, mocha and coffee.

Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and still very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, chocolates, coffee, mocha, tobacco and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 11 year old Napa Cabernet from Oakville, is drinking very nicely now with a smooth mouthfeel. Spicy with nice complexity. A Nice wine to sip on by the porch. Delightful!

Peaking now and will be still good in the next few years. Good right out of the bottle and better as he opens up and shows some tannins.

I paired it with a herb and garlic prime rib dish.

Thank you, Mike for sharing this delicious wine with me.

This was showing really well. Very nicely balanced. Lots of fruit, smooth tannins.
