Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1987

Decanted. I tasted this not knowing the year. I don’t normally care for older wines but this one was a surprise. — 2 months ago

Elivette Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Deep, deep ruby and not a hint of browning on the rim even though it’s 12 years old. Oaky vanilla with blueberry pie and some spicy notes. Lots more blue/black fruit on the palate. Super well balanced and enjoyed chewing on some med/fine tannins. Got two more of these and think I’ll wait a while. Not even close to showing its age. I think the scores will continue to climb on this one. — 5 days ago

I love this wine and it’s my favorite Napa vintage but the ‘13 Elivette didn’t hit for me like other vintages of this wine. Do you have a ‘12? I have a few left we’ll have to pull one out.

i've had this off & on for the past 25 years and it reliably offers copious amounts of fruit along with cocoa, vanilla & other decadent flavors & aromas. This was no different just not as polished or balanced as I recall. Wonder if they've increased production - this is their entry level offering — a month ago
