The Five Peaks Unfiltered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Reddish/ purplish in color with medium intensity.
Fruity nose of black fruits with cedar, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and buttery, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, blackberries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, chocolates and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink beautifully. Rich, but not extracted. Chocolatey and soft, with a great mouthfeel. Elegant and complex, easy drinking and engaging.
Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Good right out of the bottle and better after some air time. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years and see how it evolves.
Drinking beautifully for its age, and good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from each of the 5 peaks of Napa Valley, were aged for 22 months in new French oak. A tiny production of only 2,700 bottles. Unfiltered.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.
