Vine Cliff Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
I had this in my cellar since aug of 2001. I guess it was an off vintage so I wasn't in a particular rush to try it. It was just kind of there. I'm glad I opened it. Kind of minty and still somewhat fresh although I can't see it lasting another a decade. Enjoyable.

May 24th, 2017I find this cab to be a near perfect example of Oakville cabs below $200/btl. The nose takes you into the cask paving the way for a full mouth experience from front to back black and blueberries (like the mouths full I devoured while picking enough for my mom or sisters to make a pie; full mouth/full blast😎) that unctuates (my word) down one's throat smoothly grasping to stay high as it gradually slides "homeward through the haze..."😎 (thx David Crosby)! Buy this wine! Decanted x a mere 30 minutes and it steps up its presence x 4..😎. This is all going on at Salt, the amazing restaurant looking at the ocean at the Amelia Island Ritz; plus, it's Christmas!!! Matt, the bartender is a superstar!
