Perus Wine
Janeen Proprietary Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruit nose of black fruits with light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, spices and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, figs, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, light earth and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully.
Still young and very approachable already. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Very complex and entertaining.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, and a beautiful nose. Juicy and chewy, with a teeth staining color.
Needs 4 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a big piece of steak.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. A small production of less than 1,500 bottles.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$235.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Strong and very aromatic nose of violets, blackberries, stewed plums, sweet cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, licorice, coffee, peppercorn, light cola and sweet tobacco.
Full-bodied and creamy with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, dark chocolates, light earth, herbs and spices.
Long long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and raspberries.
This 4 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already gorgeous. Showing great complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and engaging.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 3 hours in the decanter.
Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Very complex already, and very entertaining. Powerful and velvety.
Showing a surprisingly beautiful nose already, especially considering its young age.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. So far, my favorite vintage of it was the 2016.
A fabulous sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
