Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of cherry, dark fruit, blackberry balanced with the vanilla bordeaux smokey sweetness of oaky French oak aging. Beyond the Aromas, the taste is what separates this - incredible plum, tobacco fruity finish which has a thick smooth texture.

Jun 6th, 2024Very enjoyable and met expectations. Tannins are sharp, fruit is medium long on the finish. Needs a few years to mellow out.

Dec 16th, 2018Exceptional, well balanced Cabernet from Napa. Rather young at this point, could benefit from a few more years in the bottle. At this age, it really opens up after about an hour of air. Medium bodied with slight fruit, it’s acidic at first but that falls off after some time in glass. Not the best but this is very enjoyable!

1 person found it helpfulJun 20th, 2019Nose: stone, blackberry, slate, mountain river, graphite, currant, leaves, GRAPES, very slight lavender. Smells like a beautiful Napa cab, if a little tight - decanted for less than an hour. Taste: a little bitter cocoa, medium bodied, purple, smooth tannins, tea. Could use a bit more acid. Elegant. Overpriced. But elegant. Do love a good Napa cab.

Nov 7th, 2021It’s fine. It’s pretty ok. But I wouldn’t spend the money on it again.

Jan 10th, 2021On the nose cool, ripe boysenberries, blackberries, and plums with myriad baking spices, eucalyptus, sweet pipe tobacco, and graphite. On the palate juicy blackberries and plums with cedar and licorice, all laced in voluptuous, velvety tannins.
