It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a yummy Cabernet Sauvignon.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and spicy, with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, raisins, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, mint, chocolates, coffee, cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Fruit forward and rich. Smooth and elegant.

Shows nice complexity already, although still young. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Opulent and delectable. Delicious and engaging.

Good by itself as a sipping wine. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.

A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels. A small production of only 300 cases.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

My new Favorite white, just love mountain fruit! Named for mountain range dividing Napa & Sonoma, old stone winery dug into side of dormant volcano crater in 1889, remained in production ever since. Pale lemon with aromas of Tropical and stone fruit with complex spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and citrus with light oak and nutty tones, fresh and vibrant, well integrated. Long finish ending with fruit and flinty mineral characteristics. Long aging potential. Nice! — 2 years ago

This is a very interesting Northern Rhône style red from Arizona. A good quality wine. Showing nice complexity on the nose. Spicy, tangy and interesting.

Nicely balanced with more red fruits than I expected. Showing mild complexity with a nice soft mouthfeel.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

Light golden in color with a very aromatic nose.

Ful bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and spicy. Soft and smooth.

Showing citrus, yellow apples, spices, pears, ginger, light marzipan and herbs.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

This is a tasty Viognier from Arizona. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.

This 4 year old is surprisingly still fresh. Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had a few vintages of this wine, and my favorite so far was the 2019.

I paired it with steamed Abalone topped with fresh ginger.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink nicely now, although it needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Showing nice complexity, elegant and spicy, with lots of earth notes.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

Smooth, elegant and tangy. Feels like a young Bordeaux, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a Brie cheese and crackers.
