Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a reddish/ brick rim.

Beautiful nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, licorice, chocolates, spices, light earth, black pepper, light vanilla, cola, light metals and black tea.

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

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

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

What a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and nicely balanced. Fruit forward, smooth and complex.

This 16 year old is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and robust at the same time, with a great mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 2 hours in the decanter.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink beautifully in the next 5 years.

I had a few vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent. A good quality wine.

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

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 24 months. A tiny production of around 1,000 bottles.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

KNA Wines Sanna Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Napa Valley, California

light lemon in color with a green hue.

Strong nose of limes, lemons, tropical fruits, green apples, light grapefruits, spices, minerals and light earth.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, herbs, limes, lemons, light earth and spices.

Tangy finish with limes and bitter herbs.

This is a very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity. Crisp and refreshing.

Better after 90 minutes of airtime, and better when not too cold.

Would be nice to revisit it in a year or two and see how it evolves.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. I paired it with fatty hard cheeses. Would pair beautifully with fresh oysters.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.
