Jonathan & Susan Pey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Tight at first but slowly opens to what could easily pass for a $40 or $50 (retail) bottle. More old school than a new school fruit bomb, this is structured and serious for such a low price. Impressive 2012 Napa cab!

Solid 2012 Cab on a property adjacent to the big boys like Screaming Eagle. Solid 20+ dollar wise cab. On special I think for 21.98 at WineWorks Marlton

Prototypical Napa Cab yet a great price. Still highly tannic at this point

Very approachable on night two, with very little variation from yesterday. Same food pairing, aka leftovers, and I would say an ever so slight improvement. Very impressed in general and especially at this price point!

Deep purple color followed a nose with tar, smoke, and dark fruit. Dark cherry, strawberry, and cedar on the palate. Extremely smooth and easy to drink. Nice finish as well. Give this some air as every glass got better over the course of 1+ hours. Solid QPR. Paired well with turkey, cranberry sauce, etc. :) Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
