Wise Acre Vineyard
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
I believe this estate closed down and the last release was the 2013. Retailed for $150.00.
Medium ruby red. Elegant and light on the nose, seems like one the OG styled wines in Napa. Herbal on the nose with black fruits, forest floor, and a touch of perfume. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Elegant palate with perfume, forest floor, spices, cedar and black currants. A nice amount of dryness and long finish. Drink till 2024.

Real deal Napa cab grown and produced by good friend Kirk Grace, biodynamic moon cycle on the cork, you can't imagine the struggle to plant and farm the vineyard, just full on awesome and authentic.

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Everything seemed a bit tired and underwhelming. Dark cherries with subtle oak and tannins. Was expecting more. Medium minus depth and finish.

So sad this great wine is no longer available. Stunning stuff!

Oct 2nd, 2017Was great right out of the bottle with nice balance between earth and fruit. After air and an hour plus it was much more powerful and bold. The food pairing probably wasn't the best, but very nice early and somewhat harsher on the palate later.

Aug 25th, 2017Wow! Extremely well balanced and refined. Lovely nose followed by the right mix of cherry, blackberry, and tobacco. Extremely Bordeaux like as it isn't overpowering. Big fan!

Still waiting on this one. Pretty acidic. I think we got snowed

Jul 16th, 2016Wonderful nose and very bold. Surprised it's only 13.8 on the OH as it's fairly strong, but one of the better finishes I've had. Solid Cab, but price point might be a tad bit inflated. Wouldn't turn down a glass with the Walker Boys however!!
