Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

9.0

First try of the 2017, from magnum.
Blackberry, cassis, cedar, fresh herbs, and the hint of barnyard. Ripe yet fresh on the palate. Medium to full body. Supple tannins.
85/10/5 CS/CF/Merlot from 3 vineyards, including the famed Stagecoach.

We thought this was Sangiovese from outside of a recognized DOC, but I guess it’s CS/CF blend. Lots of red fruit on nose: cherry & strawberry, herbs, pepper, quite dusty early on, really needed time to unwind. Earthy, brambly, kinda gnarly, this really evolved over the night. Med weight, dried herbs and red fruit on the mid-palate w/supple tannins leading to modest finish. Interesting, definitely showing some maturity, but unusual given the varietal composition. — 7 months ago

The ‘17 Right Bank is a blend of 56/44 CF/Merlot. Red fruited with spices and chocolate. Light green note as well. Balanced and textured palate. Nice easy drinking but lacking characters. — 9 months ago

Marchesi Antinori

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

A blend of 65% Cab Sauv, 20% Cab Franc & 15% Merlot, note more CF and no Petit V as in prior years. Deep Ruby with aromas of black and red fruits and sweet vanilla cedar aromas. On the palate black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors with vanilla, tobacco and oak spice. Smooth and refined tannins, long ending with sweet earthy tones. Wow!! Need to decant! Tried twice, Wow! — 2 years ago

🔥 love this stuff, legit NC CF which I’ve had through the years and it is just getting better and better. Such freshness, vivid flavors: just picked cherries, florals, sweet herbaceous notes, white pepper, varietally correct. Med weight, structured but pliable tannins, juicy acidity really conveying flavors thru to impressive finish and all for $15 — 7 months ago
