Ramey Wine Cellars Annum 2018, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a gorgeous one from Napa Valley.
Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, dark chocolates, herbs, light earth, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is an exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, but restrained. Complex and engaging. Nicely balanced, with a soft and smooth mouthfeel. Feels like a Napa Cabernet with a touch of Left Bank Bordeaux.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
Delicious stuff, and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair beautifully with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$125.
