Riverain Vineyards
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Big, bold and in your face kind of wine.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn and coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
Tangy and interesting. Will continue to a nice win the next 10 to 15 years.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Good by itself as a sipping wine.
Delicious.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$150.

Starting to express itself and dimensions with dark fruits and rich undertones with moderate oak balance and underlying tannins softening a bit. A couple years to fully integrate

Dec 26th, 2016Great wine with a taste that is all is own. Good with red meat and for an opening drink to start off the evenings.
