This wine has a brick red color to it, medium tint. The nose shows nice notes of coffee and black tea, anise, a bit of tar, and a hint of chocolate. The palate is loaded with earthy dark fruit and savory tea. The mouthfeel is medium weight and has a decent set of tannins, along with some refreshing acidity. Despite the tannins, it’s a fairly smooth sip. You can pair this with lean beef, lamb, pork, or chicken dishes. — a year ago

This particular Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve is sourced from the Red Hills by the Lake County, one of the Northernmost California's peculiar terroir with a differentiating red volcanic soil at a high elevation, yet dry climate.
Having a microclimate conditions like this, grapes tend to be a bit more aromatic than the surrounding areas. Therefore, the wine offers intense aromas of dark fruit compote and blackberry and cacao beans. Also, vanilla is present considerably, along with black cherry. Mouthfeel is a bit on the jelly with some spices to the back-end of the palate as well. The wine feels undeniably hot (15.5% ABV). Tannins are softer compared to the those Cab Sauv’s coming from Napa. A subtle notes of dry leaves and leather were felt after the wine was fully oxygenated after 1.5 hours. — a year ago

Nice old school Napa Cab. At this point it’s probably a few years past it’s prime and firmly in tertiary territory. Tobacco, wood notes, and still some black fruit. Past it’s prime but still very enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Wonderful honey aromas on the nose, along with some nice whiffs of citrus. The palate, of course, was sweet, though not sugary. Honeyed flavors of orange, peach, and apricot dominate. Not the sort of wine you'd have everynight, though a marvelous apértif or even dessert on a special occasion. 100% Orange Muscat. 7/3/22. — 5 years ago

Ripe cantaloupe on the nose. Butter on the mouth and very creamy mouth feel. Almost no fruit, but some apple/pear. Excellent with a citrusy, creamy pasta. — 9 years ago

This particular Cab Sauv is made with grapes left for a prolonged period of time on the vines to boost ripeness and combines Napa Valley floor and some other sub-AVA’s. Aging process goes for up to 18 months in French oak barrels.
A very expressive wine, still young but already showing its depth and rich and aromatics tones mulberry and blackberry, on the palate feel warm, potent, dynamic and tannins are solid but not aggressive. Some sediments and texture were present as a result of lightly filtered which give a distinguishing character.
This is a Mevushal version, that is equivalent to drinking a good non-Kosher Cab Sauv. It may resonate on everyone. — a year ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Light nose with chocolates, black fruits, light earth, tobacco leaf and light wood.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, cooked cherries, spices, oak, light vanilla, licorice, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from California is drinking very nicely now. Easy drinking, tangy and interesting. A good sipping wine.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes in the glass.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with barbecue meats. I paired it with a baked Brie cheese.

Kosher and Mevushal.
