Still probably my favorite vintage of Black Cat.

Black Cat Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Needed 90 minutes to open up, at which point there was a distinct red-fruit profile, led by juicy cherries and raspberries. The tone shifted to darker fruits with additional air, and a touch of the minerality I often find in these wines became more clear. Medium + bodied, with nice lift in the finish. Should drink well for at least several years to come. — 6 years ago
Matthiasson
Napa Valley Red Blend 2009
Although this is a blend with a fair amount of merlot in it, it reminds me most of an EMH Black Cat cab. Medium bodied with good acidity, moderate tannins, and a streak of spice on the finish. This was good on its own and, because of the acidity, also went very well with food. Really wish I had more. — 7 years ago
Roy Piper
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Had the 2011 piper last nite with 2013 Venge boneash, I've been putting everything against that bone ash & nothing beats it, at least in the $100.00 $175.00 range
11 piper had 3 1/2 hour decant, still couldn't compete on our table, had higher hopes for the Piper, but the 11 just isn't the big bold wine I like, glad it worked out for you though,
2010'was the one I liked, 12 was too hot & peppery for me,

Everything was in balance. I would score this higher but after a hours time the fruit turned a bit to taste like raisins. — 3 months ago
