Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It’s Cabernet Day today. Let's celebrate with a nice one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, black cherries, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, peppercorn, cedar, chocolates, mocha, coffee and leather.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, blueberries, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, coke, graphite, earth, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This four-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better as it opens up and shows the tannins and complexity. An hour in a decanter does the trick.
Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.
Nicely balanced, fruit forward, rich and elegant. Tasty and delicious.
A good sipping wine, that will age nicely in the next 5 to 15 years. I've had a few vintages with much more age before, and it is always delicious.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 16 months in mostly French oak barrels (44% new).
14.6% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$46.

Bold and a hint of darkness on the nose. Maybe Darth Vader. At a christmas dinner.

Easy to drink from opening. Black currant. Oak is not much. Taste is getting deep and concentrated, spiciness as well. Lots of tanning. Not sweet CS. More than 1.5 hours is better. 2.5 hours, herb flavor is showing up. 2014 @1950, Sergio - XH, 191226-200222
