Robert John Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Shows a great nose with lots of licorice notes. So interesting.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherry, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, mocha, cola and light pencil lead.
I had it a year and a half ago and it is aging very nicely. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This Single Vineyard is interesting, rich, elegant and stylish.
Tasty right out of the bottle and much better after 3 hours of airtime, so be patient.
Lovely wine from a great vintage. Just Delicious.
15.2% alcohol by volume.

It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a gorgeous Cabernet from Napa Valley.
Deep ink in color with a short Ruby rim.
A gorgeous nose of blueberries, currants, cherries, wild strawberries, dried figs, cedar, vanilla, dark coffee, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, earth, chocolates, eucalyptus, black pepper and Mediterranean spices.
Full bodied and gentle with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, sweet spice, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, mocha, earth, graphite, leather, coke and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a wonderful example of a Napa Cabernet. Showing great complexity with a wonderful nose and a great, smooth and gentle mouthfeel. Very elegant.
Still not showing its 6 year old age and could age very nicely in the next 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle and much better after an hour, when all these flavors open up on the nose and palate.
By now, the alcohol is well integrated alcohol, although it is very high.
Good by itself or with food and a great sipping wine to have with friends and talk about.
