Poggi Wines Twin Palms Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Napa Valley, California
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with blueberries, black plums, red cherries, raspberries, oak, light vanilla, tobacco, vegetables, light chocolates, coffee, black tea, earth, light alcohol, light black pepper and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with currants, blueberries, tart plums, oak, licorice, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco, herbs, tarragon, rosemary, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and black pepper.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Doesn't drink like one, though. Feels more like a right bank Bordeaux.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and interesting. Not a typical Napa Cabernet style.
This 8-year-old Is drinking nicely now and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
I had it 4 years ago, and liked it better this time. Showing more complexity now, which I loved.
Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 4% Cab Franc. Aged for 22 Months in 50% new French Oak barrels. A small production of only 976 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75.
