Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Full-bodied, elegant and bold.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
This 6 year old is drinking very nicely now, and much better than a year ago. Rich, extracted, juicy and fruit forward. A great sipping wine.
Delicious right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
15% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.
Dry and fruity on the palate with a great mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, earth, sweet spices, raisins, dried figs, milk chocolates, tobacco, herbs, smoke, licorice, light cola, cigar box and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. I had it almost 2 years ago, and it is so much better now. The 17s Napas are starting to drink very nicely now.
This 5 year old is showing a great nose now. Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after an hour of airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Paired very nicely with the Capocollo dried meat.

Time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color, almost Inky, with a bright red rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cedar, sweet cherries, dried figs, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, spices, light earth, pencil lead and black pepper.
Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, earth, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, peppercorn, vanilla, cola, spices and espresso.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty wine from Napa Valley. Fruit forward, rich and extracted.
This 4 year old is starting to drink nicely now. A good quality wine that will age nicely in the next 10 years.
Easy drinking and elegant, with a nice mouthfeel. Already showing nice complexity. Showing nice potential to get to a 94+ point wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets more complex as it opens up. I gave it 3 hours in a decanter.
