The Experiment Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Blackberry, raspberry, cherry, stewed fruit, vanilla and oak. Full-bodied and soft tannins.

14.5% ABV.
A blend created from 21 different cooperages/30 toasting levels/styles.

2014 - First tried in 2018, invested and two years later, appreciation and dividends; fruit forward bouquet and first impression, with long velvety tannins; up there with Fifty Fifty but mellower as their Cabs are less bold than their Merlots; both great; another winner from Peju!

First smell is noticeably briney & minerals. Bright, light red berry flavors, mineral, dry, some darker jam swirling around at the end. Contrast keeps it from being overly syrupy or astringent, even though dryness is a huge factor. Incredibly smooth in taste & texture. Drinking for Justin's birthday during an ice storm. From Peju visit/Napa trip 2019.

2013.

Gift from our Napa visit🍷🍷

Red fruits spicy and great balance

Good, but too jammy.

Nice balance of fruit and spice on nose - Plum and blk cherry. Lots of fruit on pallet. Smooth finish with tannins at end.

$85

Superb. Big blackberry and cassis on nose but smooth on palate with a lovely dry finish. Definitely decant for at least an hour and enjoy!
