Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

3rd night was the charm. The initial sip was a chocolate fruit bomb. It then turned rather austere. And came together after 3 days of playing with it. At its best the wood, fruit, earth, and tannins were all in balance and nailed a Bordeaux Napa combo.

Deep color beautiful black fruit and mineral aromas just a touch of cigar box and sandal wood. On the palate it is the very definition of a #napacab with length and just slightly chewy tannins minty finish. I’m loving it. #napa #cabernetsauvignon

Good cab, pretty constrained. Subtle tannins and not a fruit bomb.

So much going on here...like the Whitman's sampler of wine

3/2021. Good medium bodied cab. Good flavor and finish.

Get sis and Vine

Damn good!!

Hand it to an alien. Say. "this is a Cabernet"

Wonderful. Good solid fruit with great balance of acid and tannin. Keenan always seems to get it right.

Decidedly structured. Dense.

What was meant to be a casual dinner with friends over homemade BLTs ended up turning into a full-blown wine dinner.

Juicy, savory, and pretty balanced. I’ve always enjoyed Keenan. Dark fruits like muddled blueberries and blackberries, dark chocolate, cedar/musk.
