Flavors of blueberries and boysenberries; lots of fruit. Modest tannins and a medium finish. This went well with the New York steaks we paired it with. This was an unexpected bargain at Grocery Outlet for $12 (MSRP supposedly $35). #napavalleywine #napacab #californiacabernet #grocerystorewine — 4 months ago

9.1

Deep ruby and purple hues with magenta rim variation. Moderate extraction and heavy tearing. Nose offers sweet tobacco, cigar box, oak, cedar, leather, baking spices and candied black fruit. Soft and smooth tannins on the palate; palate is otherwise consistent with the nose. Lingering finish. ABV 15.3%. Vintage 2014.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my Delectable friends!

9.2

Lovely pale gold with lightest silver green. Big nose of full throttle gooseberry, cooked lemon, grilled grapefruit and gardenia. Round, full mouthfeel turns lean in a citric instant as it pivots deftly to lemon pith, grapefruit peel, ginger, lemongrass and tart lime, with secret tangelo intentions. Juicy and abundant, but lively and bracing in a way that keeps it focused. Impressive Sauvignon Blanc from Napa. .
