Vinatieri Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon
Yountville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!
Only my second time having this producer, both courtesy of Jack. My last was an ‘11 that I found to be very sweet fruit driven, and I think I like this one a touch better as it seems more varietally correct. Still a nice medley of red, blue and black fruits but there was added dust and cedar here that made it more complex. Dark chocolate shavings, creme de cassis, baking spices round this out nicely. Thanks @Jack Thompson .
