Strong nose of currants, black plums, fresh cherries, raspberries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, earth, tobacco leaf, cola, Indian spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, cooked cherries, chocolates, toast, licorice, cedar, spices, earth, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and herbs.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 3 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley is still very young, but already approachable and enjoyable as a sipping wine. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 93+ point wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.
Complex and entertaining, fruit forward and interesting. Loved the low alcohol level here.
Showing a nice mouthfeel, and a good food wine. Paired nicely with my Aged Smoked Gouda cheese.
