Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of cherries, blueberries, plums, currents, lights tobacco, light cedar, licorice, metals, black pepper and spices.
Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, currants, oak, light vanilla, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, cola, dark chocolates, peppercorn and green vegetables.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 6-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and smooth.
Fruit forward with earth notes that compliment the fruits. Feels very much like a Left Bank Bordeaux, with a touch of New World.
Powerful, yet elegant. Nicely balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
A nice sipping wine, and good with food too.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$80.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium plus intensity.
Pretty nose with red and blue fruits, light oak, herbs, licorice, chocolates and spices.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Long tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very interesting Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Not the typical Napa Cabernet. Very unique, spicy and tangy.
Soft and elegant on the palate, with nice complexity.
A good quality wine. Still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good right out of the bottle and much better after an hour to open up properly.
The high alcohol is not very noticeable at this point.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
