Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, grapes sourced from all over CA, including Napa, dark red with black fruit aromas and strong spice. On the palate flavors of dark berry fruits with smoky spice, cacao and vivid acidity. Firm tannins carry the fruit to a medium ending with an earthy mineral spice finish. Tasting Sample.

Pretty good. Smells quite funky at first, but after a couple of minutes it opened up and became very tasteful. Definitely a yes.

Very enjoyable as soon as the bottle is opened. I don't know about long term storage, but well worth the price for a nice beef or past meal. We simply had ours after a long Christmas weekend with the grown kids!

Raspberry, cherry, licorice, herbs, plum. Beautiful deep garnet color. Supple mouthfeel. Less dry than expected, low tannin - especially on the finish. Very approachable.

Deep purple in color, and cloudy, with a purplish rim.
Tart on the nose with strawberries, raspberries, sour cranberries, pomegranates, licorice, light vanilla, wood, alcohol, metals and black pepper.
Medium bodied, smooth and elegant, with high acidity and long long legs.
Tart on the attack with sour raspberries, strawberries, vinegar, licorice, wood, tobacco, sage, bitter herbs, green vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with medium tannins and tart cranberries.
This Napa Cabernet is unbalanced, but with some complexity. A little disappointing for the price point. It does not smell or taste like a Napa Cabernet. It became more tart as it opened up.
Very austere right now and will improve in a couple of years in the bottle.
14.9% alcohol by volume.

A 98% Cabernet wine, grapes sourced from all over Naps, dark red with black fruit aromas and pungent spice. On the palate dark berry flavors with smoky spice, cacao and racy acidity. Fine, yet firm tannins carry the fruit to a medium ending with a mineral finish.
