Strong nose of black currants, blackberries, cedar, spices, vanilla, chocolates, light alcohol, herbs and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, coffee, herbs and peppercorn.
Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant, smooth and spicy.
This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink nicely now, but still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. Aged in (80% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months. 900 cases produced.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$235.

This is the best Cabernet coming out of Napa that is not 17% alcohol and 100% new oak.
