Ehlers Estate
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
HUMP DAY! Welcome to Wednesday and I have opened the 2013 Ehlers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena. Made up of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.
Then aromas from this wine are very enticing and full. There are loads of black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, black currant, milk chocolate, sweet licorice, violet, vanilla and loamy soil.
On the palate the nose is confirmed with, juicy black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, black currant, black raspberry, chocolate, licorice and notes of smokey oak.
The wine is well balanced with medium + acidity, medium + tannins like fine sandpaper that are a little grippy. There is a long finish with a lush full body feel.
Totally enjoy this wine that drinks well now and has at least 10 -20 good years.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🖒

A little muted on the nose...fruits and minerals. Lean body. Ripe blackberries, black plum, blueberries, dry dark raspberries, baking spices, dusty dark minerals, crushed dry rocks, wild flowers, dry grass, mid + tannins and acidity. Nice round dry fruit finish.

A classic Napa style of yesteryear, with plenty of savory spice balancing the dark fruit, well-integrated oak, silky tannins and acidity. Moderate alcohol level is a bonus.

Fantastic! Lots of spice, black/red fruits and long finish. Tannins are beginning to integrate better. Decent awhile or hold a couple more years.

Killer, all the big fruit, tannins, and balance you want in a Cab. Nothing in your face.

Pretty remarkable wine for the price. It is on the lighter side, but very nuanced with fresh butter on the nose and plethora of dark fruits on the palate. Very enjoyable with food or as an after dinner wine.

Opens early with ripe blackberry, cassis, tobacco and... a rusty mineral streak.
