Quivet Cellars
Pellet Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Napa cab night - very very good - totally impressed - love all Mr Smith wines
A classic big bold beautiful wine - from a vineyard right next to the famous Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard - amazing Juice with the textures, verve and anise undertones of its prestigious neighbors. Dark garnet to the rim with a slight purple hue, the clarity of this wine shows off its overall brightness, purity and depth- smells of dark and red raspberries so strong you don't even have to put your nose to the glass - this is definitely mid palate that is filled with spice box, herbs of Provence and mocha, setting the stage for rollercoaster of complexities and multi-level layers - true cornucopia of cool-toned red/blue fruits, graphite and coffee undertones - 2011 is balanced, on point, long and focused - the subtle nuances and hidden layers are so evident

Wow. Great fruit and Cabernet finish. Just keeps coming up as it breathes with a depth of dust overplayed with cassis and complex finish. Delicious

This is really great with a marinated rack of lamb. Full of coffee with a fruit component that increases across the pallet then comes a hint of blackberry with a wonderful Cabernet finish. Very good after an hour. Wonderfully delicious after 3. What a beautiful Cab

Yup. Plush Blue/black fruit, eucalyptus, and a violet nuance. Mouth staining with a rich and dark fruited smack to the palate with firm depth and balanced acidity rounds it out. Yup.
