Dominican Oaks
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep transparent garnet purple. Modest nose of black currant and vanilla oak. Medium bodied palate is led with juicy purple fruit and and oaky sheen, both sustained through the finish with medium plus tannins and medium acidity. This is a very nice fruit forward table wine with a great QPR. If “New World” is your style, this is a great everyday Napa Cab to doll up your everyday meals that won’t be out of place at those “special” dinners. Drink by 2020.

A little too bold for me. Very rich flavor that overpowers all other notes.

Extremely dry red. Tastes of salty berries, which I believe was Nick M's nickname in Middle School. Smells of charcoal, cough syrup, and ink... Smooshed with varieties of red berries. No burn. Get you some.
