Vineyard 36
Thirty Six Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Here is a beautiful one from Napa Valley.
Deep ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose with blueberries, black plums, cherries, vanilla, oak, licorice, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, coffee and black pepper.
Full-bodied, soft and smooth, with medium acidity and nice long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cloves, cola, chocolates, bitter herbs, coffee, peppercorn, vegetables, pencil lead, tobacco and earth.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a very yummy mouthfeel.
Still young and needs time in the bottle to mature.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. After 90 minutes of airtime, it shows more vegetable notes.
Good with food, but also a great sipper. Delicious now, but will be even better in the next 5 to 10 years.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
Had it all by myself. Sometimes you need to take time for yourself, with a good bottle of wine, right? 😂
A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 17% Merlot. Aged in 33% new French oak barrels.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$85.

Deep purplish ruby red. Tons of gunpowder, graphite, and black cherries on the nose. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied with a little heat in the long finish. Lots of black cherries, almost a black cherry liqueur, on the palate with vanilla and cinnamon. Some pencil shavings underneath as well. Very young with acidity and too much cherry coming through. Needs a year or two to integrate. Drink from 2018 till 2028. (90+)

Nov 20th, 2017Obviously biased but this new 2013 Vineyard 36 Thirty Six is an explosive 100% Napa Valley Cabernet. Only going to improve over the next year and will certainly cellar for 7-10
