Time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Strong nose of black currants, cherries, raisins, dried figs, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, tobacco, black pepper and dark chocolates.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, sweet cherries, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious and a classic Napa Cabernet. Exactly what you expect from one. Rich, yet not over the top and very chocolatey.
Still very young, but already very tasty. A beautiful Bordeaux blend with lots of potential. Very engaging and approachable at this young age.
Good right out of the bottle, but needs time to open up and show the tannins (90 minutes).
Showing great potential to become a 95+ point wine, and will age nicely in the next 10 years. Already showing nice complexity with a soft and smooth mouthfeel.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. Aged for 19 months in mostly French oak barrels (58% new).
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$52.

One of my favorite cab francs. 2018 is unique in that it is a 100% cab franc. It is Complex while remaining a nicely balanced single. A bit acidic, but can barely tell. drinks like an old Bordeaux. David Tara Traci Noah Paris.
