The Napa Valley Reserve (TNVR)
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Monolithic (one liner). Structured (too tight). Elegant (closed and not showing much personality). Shows potential (underwhelms for hype and price). But if you take the good... it was great.

Dec 16th, 2017This Napa Valley Reserve is stunning. Seamless on the palate, with remarkable depth and richness with flavors galore including black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, licorice, spice and hints of menthol build in a rich, sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the right notes. One of the best!

Dec 31st, 2020Bold and powerful yet silky and smooth. The tastes of dark berries and plum make this one of the best drinking bold wines around. An all around favorite.

Mar 6th, 2017Deep and intense color. Quintessential Napa red, but yet manage to have a great balance. Cherries, floral, and vanilla/chocolate aromas. Full body and long finish.
