Roy Estate
La Reveuse Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Full-bodied and elegant. Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, spices, tobacco, herbs, cola, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 11 year old is rich and extracted, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Fruit forward with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Another delicious wine from the hands of Philippe Melka, and from the great 2013 vintage.
Thank you Barry for sharing this with me.
A small production of less than 50 cases. Drank from a Magnum.
15% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$300.
