Last had this 4.5 years ago. I remember the fruit and oak were poking out. 4.5 years later much of the baby fat burned off and this is drinking very nicely. — 3 days ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim.

Light nose with cedar and chocolate notes.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, espresso, chocolates, diet cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, spicy and elegant.

Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with good structure.

Still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine. I'll have to revisit it in 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Complex and a great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Gorgeous.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 21 months in (85% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 2,400 bottles made.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

A vanilla bomb! Vanilla, cedar, and black fruit dominant. The tannins are silky smooth. Can drink now or age a bit more. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose with cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, spices and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with blue and black fruits, cedar, spices, vanilla, herbs, cola, chocolates, coffee, licorice and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This very young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink nicely now, but needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly.

Showing nice complexity already, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. A tiny production of less than 1,400 bottles.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee and black pepper.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, cola, chocolates, black pepper, coffee and light herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink very nicely now. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting. Rich and inviting.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and better after a couple of hours in the decanter.

This is exactly what I expected from a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Very true to the Terroir.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years, with good potential to become a 94+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a nice piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (75% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 350 cases.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a short purplish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, vanilla, herbs and peppercorn.

Full-bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with black plums, black cherries, currants, cedar, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, black pepper, earth and light vanilla.

This is a delicious Merlot based blend from Napa valley. Rich and extracted, yet elegant. Powerful and spicy.

A very pretty wine made by Philippe Melka. Complex and well-balanced already. So nice to see that.

Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 21 months in (75% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 4 barrels.
