Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits with cedar, licorice, metals, light earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.

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

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and light black tea.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and somewhat subdued. Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Robert Parker 93 points.

Elegant and good by itself or with food.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$150.

Château Gros Moulin

Per Vitem Ad Vitam Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

2022 vintage. Another winner from Rémy Eymas in this exceptional vintage. 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Malbec, Beautiful nose with black fruit, violet, and very discreet oak. Concentrated, layered juicy fruit and subtle spices, embedded in a ripe tannic structure, and fresh acidity. Impeccably balanced, which makes the 15% abv go unnoticed. — 8 months ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2024

94-96. Potente e bilanciato. Molto legno a naso al momento che compre un po’ le ceste di frutta matura che vengono fuori da questo vino. Veramente notevole la maturità del frutto. Forse anche grazie ad appena il 26% di Merlot. Ma i Cabernet sono intensi e maturi. Lungo ed equilibrato sul finale. — 3 months ago
