Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh rolled cigar, touches of cedar and smoke, plums just about turning to prune ...I want to be in a manor library with the fireplace going wearing a 3-piece tweed

Dec 28th, 2015Blended from three vineyards: See, Reese and one name I forget but it is located on the Silverado Trail just above Three Palms. 12.9 alcohol, yes that's correct; a wine of both power and grace. This wine was poured @ the 25 year retrospective for JPV. Great color, graphite black cherry/currant aromas with a sweet tannin construct that IMO is a real terrior driver for Napa Valley. 40 years old and going strong if on the back side of the curve.
