Revana Family Vineyard
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a beautiful one.
Dark inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice spices, chocolates, mocha, coke, metals, light earth, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, peppercorn, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke and beef jerky.
Long finish with round tannins and dark coffee.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better as it opens up and shows more complexity. Good by itself or with food. I loved smelling on it for a long time.
This 6 year old from the great 2013 vintage is tasty and delicious. Has the potential to be a 97 point wine in 5 years.
Thank you Barry for sharing.
This is a nice wine to drink all by itself and talk about. Well balanced, rich and expressive.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 20 months.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$150.

Always elegant and beautifully composed! Always a treat! The cola and herbs were a pleasant surprise this time around.

Hard to beat a Heidi Barrett wine. Already extremely supple. Dark and lingering legs, big fruit on the nose. Not overpowering in oak, but a good amount of vanilla and dark fruit. I imagine this will hit a sweet spot in 5-7 years.

Given 30-45 mins to open up after being decanted and this is luxurious.

Jun 28th, 2017Enjoyed this. Were in the mood for a fruit forward cab. This did the trick. Not a lot of subtlety, but a nice bottle

Feb 21st, 2017Gross. Tastes like lamb fat, dipped in chocolate, smothered in rubbing alcohol. Might have redeeming qualities in 5+ years, but none now. Undrinkable.
