Salvestrin
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This was just okay. A little flat and dense and an hour or two didn't open it up. Maybe it was good ten years ago.

A decent Cab Sauv from the Estate Salvestrin specifically out of the Dr. Crane Vinyard in St. Helena, Napa. It’s composed of 83% Cab Sauv, 10% Merlot, and 7% Cab Sauv. It’s deep and intense of baked dark cherry on the nose, great texture on the palate and pretty silky mouthfeel. Tannins are structured and smooth. Great overall. It can age beautifully!

This is a good Napa Cab… Possible better than your run of the mill kind.

Red fruit in the nose with prominent maraschino cherries in the palate. Needed some time decanting, but went well with a grilled NY strip. Also was nice with a cheese/sausage charcuterie board.

Allegedly sourced from Dr Crane vineyard. This was quite nice but lacked balanced. A touch acidic with tannins that need a bit more time.

V13. Pretty solid wine. Well balanced, and very good food wine. Cedar nose. Juicy Blackberry, plum and currant fruit. Dry, soft leather, with a slight green finish.
