Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

1982 vintage. Showing great fruit. Beyond a pleasant surprise!

At Ruby’s with steak. Marvelous. Dark fruits with herbal undertones yet vibrant with enough acidity to keep it fresh. +2 pairing with grilled steak.

Complexity of a 19 year old wine without the tannins. Smooth and rich.

Very full-bodied. Worth the lofty price.

Needs time to open to a full flavor flavor bold wine. Was quite surprised. Front to back with bold fruit.

Forget. About. It.

Normally a stand out cab, this '83 was sadly well past it's prime.

1983 -- cork crumble.
