Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Kukeri Wines Brioso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Mount Veeder, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Strong nose of black currants, cooked plums, licorice, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, mediterranean spices, eucalyptus, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and black tea.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, light oak, spices, dark coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, green tea, peppercorn, licorice and light mint.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Rich and restrained, complex and entertaining.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours in the decanter.
This 5 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Interesting stuff.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 30 months in French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 1,200 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$105.
