Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. Still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself.
Fruit forward and dry on the palate, with medium acidity and nice complexity. Rich and extracted.
Long finish with round tannins.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours in the decanter.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Would pair beautifully with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in (85% new) French Oak barrels.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$90.

One of our favorite Napa cabs at this price. Excellent and so consistent in terms of quality and style.

Wow! Rich, smooth cab with layers of flavor. Deep, balanced fruit flavors with hint of chocolate on finish. Just spectacular!

Needed a 2nd day to come around, I couldn’t finish a single glass yesterday.
Very good for $30.00, wouldn’t pay retail. Thanks for the hookup @Rob Brobst III

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon turned out beautifully. Rich, sumptuous and incredibly alluring, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate. Dark red fruit, mocha, spice and licorice are some of the notes that build in the glass. I would give it a few years in bottle, or alternatively open it in advance. Aeration and the passage of time did wonders for the 2018. It spent 20 months in barrel, 85% new.

This red offers a mix of sassafras, loam and anise notes, subtly inlaid into a core of steeped plum and warmed cassis flavors. A tug of bramble and singed apple wood keeps the finish grounded. Drink now through 2030. 6,000 cases made.

The larger production appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley checks in as 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot, all aged 20 months in 85% new French oak. Classy notes of ripe darker fruits, bouquet garni, violets, chocolate, and earth all give way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, lengthy 2018 with good mid-palate depth and present yet ripe tannins. It shows the more tight, reserved style of the vintage yet has lots of potential. Give bottles 3-4 years and enjoy over the following decade or more.
