It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of blue and black fruits with light oak, licorice, tobacco and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, black cherries, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, herbs, coffee, licorice, peppercorn and pencil lead.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking nicely now with nice complexity.
Soft, elegant and easy drinking. Showing nice complexity, tangy and interesting. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. I gave it 90 minutes in the decanter. Shows a very pretty nose once it opens up.
Not your typical Napa Cabernet, as it is more in the Left Bank Bordeaux Style.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$55.
