Swanson Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This wine was surprisingly good, given that it was stored under conditions of varying care for many years. My sister-in-law's neighbor gave it to her and she opened it for Thanksgiving.
It was smooth-drinking and opened up nicely with some decanting. Complex cherry and blueberry fruits up front led into a light chocolate dust finish.

Bought a case of 2018 from Costco today. Great pice for a Napa. As others, and the bottle indicate “ fruit forward”. Good tannins follow and ends with a toasted marshmallow finish. Might lay the rest down for another year and see what happens.

Such a smooth fruit forward treat. Let it breathe and you’ll thank me later.
