Ad Vivum Cellars Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Napa Valley
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Nose of blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, black currants, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, dark chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, licorice, cedar, light earth, light vanilla, chocolates, black pepper and coffee.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 8 year old Napa Cabernet is still young, but already delicious. Rich and powerful, yet elegant, with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, fruit forward and complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours in the decanter.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet needs another 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
I’ve had a few vintages of this Cabernet Sauvignon and it is so much better with age.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired beautifully with food too.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$200.

omg i tried this at my first wine tasting last semester!! super smooth with those dark fruit notes, definitely above my usual boxed wine budget but worth it for special occasions.
