It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

This is a gorgeous Napa Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend.

Showing a very aromatic nose, and very fruity on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing blackberries, cooked cherries, black plums, tobacco, diet cola, cedar, leather, vanilla, chocolates, licorice, spices, earth and peppercorn.

Long tangy finish with round tannins and cherries.

A great sipping wine. Delicious right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and this 2016 is rocking. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Robert Parker 98 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.

An excellent Cabernet that will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I had it all by itself by the lake.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$200.

Family on the way, so we’re pushing the boat out. Lovely expression of Napa.

Balanced and sheer power characterize the 19 vintage. Too young at the moment, but this is destined for greatness.
