Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon
Yountville, Napa Valley, California, USA
This 4 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking very nicely now, although still young.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits, cedar and spices.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, vanilla, licorice, cedar, earth, peppercorn and light black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Spicy and rich. Elegant and soft.
Fruit forward right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up (90 minutes).
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. A small production of only 7 barrels. Aged in French oak barrels for 26 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose with lots of fruits, earth notes and chocolates.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, bitter herbs, coffee, dark chocolates, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 4 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Yountville in Napa Valley, is starting to drink very nicely now.
Still very young, but already approachable. Fruit forward, spicy and good by itself. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 2 hours in the decanter.
Not "in your face" kind of wine. Feels like a blend of Napa Cabernet and Left Bank Bordeaux.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
A blend of 98 % Cabernet Sauvignon with some Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot. Aged in (40% new) French and American oak barrels for 26 months. A small production of only 175 cases.
