Swanson Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
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.

Not many wines I enjoy more days after opening, but this improved after 3 days corked in the fridge. Plums and tart dark berries. Wait as long as possible to drink.

A great plume of fruit on the nose. At pop and pour, it was quite mellow with juicy fruit and low tannin - almost merlot-esque. Then the wine opened into the more typical black cherry, cassis and a follow through of licorice and tobacco. Quite good.
