Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The most approachable and finished fourth but for a while it was running #1 because not decanted correctly imo but this is a great wine

Scarecrow tasting - vertical - 2009 through 2014 - what a treat - this is reference to the 2010
Finished third - all were bottle opened for one hour - all needed to be decanted but once they arrived they were mind blowing
Rich decadent and the finish was soooooo long
Has another 25 years left

Full bodied with classic cabernet qualities that are balanced with luxurious oak handling. What stands out for me with this famous wine is its purity. It’s graceful and brings great enjoyment over the course of a dinner.

Strong, full, dark, acidic, at least 10 more years of aging, delicious now.

There was a problem with this wine. It evaporated in the glass. Like every time… I poured some and then it was gone. Again. And again... Definitely quality control issue. This is a knee buckling wine! I can’t imagine a higher ceiling - so I will assume this is peak drinking window. Tons of dark fruit, blackberries, cassis and earthy. It’s packing energy like a young wine but is also has the development of a matured wine with ample structure. I can see opening a second bottle tonight because this was sooo good, Sooo special and we started sooo early. Highly recommended.
