Revana Family Beckstoffer to Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, Napa Valley, California

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, light bell pepper, coffee and black pepper.

Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cedar, cooked plums, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs, spices and chocolates.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, but really needs 3 hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 98+ point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

Red fruits on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate, nicely balanced and complex.

Showing raspberries, sweet cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee and black pepper.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Williamette Valley is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (35% new) French Oak barrels for 10 months.

13.4% alcohol by volume.

This is such an interesting wine from Argentina. This tasty Grenache feels like a young Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

This Single Vineyard Grenache is still young and vibrant. Nicely balanced and complex.

9.2

Broken cork. Not surprised for 23 year old wine.

Pleasant aromas but muted. Not as expressive as expected.

Generally smooth and tasting like it’s going over the hill. Missing structure and depth.

But still generally a good wine. — 6 months ago
