The Pey Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, floral and herb spice notes. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry and with nutty spice and cedar notes. Medium length, firm tannins, ok balance ending with oak and pepper spice. Ok, good now!

Just received the 2021s and thought I’d open a bottle. Decanted 15 minutes. Big red fruit - cherry, plum. Lighter bodied for a cab. Fruit is overpowering and just on the edge of too ripe. Tannins are soft with a slightly grippy feel. Good value. Someone rated this 97 which seems a bit high to me.

Black cherries, black and blue berries just ripe. Smooth well integrated tannins. Drinking pretty well right now. Nice long finish.

Decent value, but no stand out qualities. Fruit forward, lavender and oak.
