Felicity Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

In Mag. Tannins. Chewy.

14.8% alc.
76% CS, 11% ME, 6.5% PV, 6.5% Malbec.

Good. Not great.
As the winemaking style was a bit different back then I think this probably peaked a few years ago.

(This is a winery to watch - recent changes in winemaking at Sodaro Estate really deserves attention. I just had the privilege to taste through their 2016's from barrel together with new winemaker Leo Tellez. STELLAR!).

So much better than what RP says...

Has a good amount of that earthy strong earthy nuance to the currant cassis berry fruit with nice depth a long finish

"A Celebration of the Life of Denis Malbec"

Not my favorite wine but really enjoyed the winery visit and especially spectacular views of the Coombsville AVA. Trying my best to be unbiased.

Very smooth, somewhat dry, chocolate/tobacco short finish.

Had the 08 and 09 side by side and the 08 is drinking better 11/5/17.

Outstanding.

Smooth with great flavor. You can tell the Dyers had their hands in this wine!
