Monticello Napa
Jefferson Cuvée Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Napa Valley, California, USA
Ruby color. Sweet nose of strawberry jam. Dark cherry palate but a little spicy on the back end. Moderate tannin and not too hot. Overall very good cab. I enjoyed this with chicken cacciatore and a crusty baguette. This aged well and was very delighted. I’d definitely recommend.

Nov 20th, 2022Dark burgundy with violet undertones and a wide brim. A pretty standard Napa Cabernet nose of smoked oak, fragrant black fruits, and almost subtle vanilla. A big, full bodied bruiser of a wine, this edges close to the edge of too damn much but the addition of Cabernet Franc saves it. This isn’t a very subtle or complex Cab but there is something to be said for straightforwardness. Pleasantly not overoaked, the palate actually begins somewhat low key with blackberries and spice. After two hours, he mellowed out and showed more vanilla, chocolate mousse, and black tea.
