The Essentials Aida Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Now that's a huge Cali Cab, perfect with a grilled ribeye

Super dark jam on the nose. Initial ripe red fruit on the front with an oak and mild tar. Dry in the mouth then an explosion of fruit. Awesome bottle!!

This is just out of control amazing Napa Cab. A real treat.

Pelican. Bold and powerful Cali Cab. Green peppers; oak; minerals; organic finish.

2014 vintage. Mid-palate conundrum currently and waiting for it to resolve/head to respective corners. Medium body. Give it another 3-4 years. Usual V29 style evident at the start and finish but a bit of a blood clot in between. 06.11.25.
