Novicium Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
1hr+ decant. Dark red color with some caramel edges. Fairly muted nose with some floral tones. Massive tea on the palate with stewed fruit. Medium depth and medium finish. Just not my style.

Nov 2nd, 2024PnP. This was great! Bramble and dark cherries on the nose. Purplish red color. Deep wine with classic Napa sweetness. Fruit forward yet elegant and awesome texture. Medium plus finish. Glad I have one left.

Nov 2nd, 202311yr Wedding Anniversary! Wine needed a decant but we didn’t have time. Dark purple color. Great nose of cedar, dark cherries, and rustic elements. Was surprised by the olives and meats on the palate. Was very CDP like. Not sure if it’s in a weird spot, an off bottle, or meant to be that type of blend. Wasn’t bad, but not my style. Medium depth and finish.

Bold and the beautiful. Very young and needed more time to decant but good fruit not overly tannic and well balanced
