It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose with black fruits, chocolates, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and peppercorn.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, cedar, peppercorn, earth, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining. Fruit forward and easy drinking.

This 13 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the great 2012 vintage, is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A good quality wine, with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Well balanced and elegant.

I've enjoyed many different vintages of this wine over the years, from older to younger, and it never fails to deliver.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. Aged in ( 75% new) French Oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins. — a month ago

Tropical aromatics, slightly buttery, perfumed jasmine.

Grapey, sunshine, minerals, California breeze. Nice chalky chew.

Papaya and melon fruits combine with minerality and a soft acidity that produces a super well balanced Chablis like Chardonnay that still holds on to its grippy California terroir — 22 days ago

I was surprised it was in a clear glass bottle. Still very young but surprisingly light. Very vanilla with fresh cherry’s. Not a big Cabernet at all. — 21 days ago

Our Christmas dinner wine selection voted on by the table after a few tasters at The Charcoal Room in Las Vegas. A lighter mouth feel but rich in flavor if I remember correctly. A delicious addition to our meal I hope to enjoy again. May modify review upon revisiting. — 19 days ago

Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

Celebrating 10,000 reviews on Vivino, with this fabulous wine.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, cedar and black pepper.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins, cherries and spices.

This 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is showing lots of chocolate and cola notes. Soft, with great complexity.
Feels like a high quality Left Bank Bordeaux.

Delicious stuff, that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years.

Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 99 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. The high alcohol is nicely integrated already.

It's always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. A great sipping wine.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Aged for 22 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

15% alcohol by volume.
