Kukeri Wines Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark inky in color with a short purplish rim.
Light nose with blue and black fruits, oak, herbs, dark chocolates and coffee.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, black cherries, cedar, licorice, light cola, coffee, peppercorn, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink nicely, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward and elegant. Chewy and opulent.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become 94+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Rich and complex, but easy drinking, and a good quality wine. Spicy and tangy.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Aged in (40% new) American and French oak barrels for 15 months. A tiny production of only 3 barrels.
