Trinchero Napa Valley
Mario's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here's a fantastic one from California.
Pretty color of dark ruby with a reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, dried figs, tobacco, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, cola and peppercorn. Great nose.
Full bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and fat legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, raisins, toasted cedar, leather, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, chocolates, medium roasted coffee, coke, sweet spices and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Well balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
The nose is gorgeous and I just kept on smelling on it for a long time.
This 5 year old is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years and beyond.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 90 minutes of airtime.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet is just plain delicious. Tangy and interesting, rich yet elegant.
Aged for 20 months in French Oak barrels (70% new).
14.8% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$50.
