Quivet Cellars
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Tasted side by side with the 15 Becklyn NV and 15 Myriad NV.
Dark purplish ruby red. Dark spices, dark berries, minerality and a touch floral. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. A touch of heat on the palate, layered with blackberries, spices and a touch of something smoked. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

Third of four! Dark purplish red. Layered and voluptuous nose with purple flowers, blueberries, blackberries, sweet spices and a touch of bark. Medium tannins (6/10) and full bodied. So much dark fruit and spices on the palate, delicious. I can see this will be stunning with a few hours in a decanter. Drink till 2025.

Jul 6th, 2018So much stuffing in this wine, you could use it at thanksgiving!! Opened a shade tight on Day one but full of delicious blue and black fruits. A touch of heat. Missed Day 2. On Day 3, singing! Love a wine that can take 3 days of oxygen. Well done @Mike Smith
