Estate Bottled Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, fresh cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and mediterranean spices.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light vanilla, cedar, licorice, light cola, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, coffee, light earth, herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, elegant and complex. Fruit forward and luxurious. Alcohol is nicely integrated already.
Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
I've had an older vintage before, and it ages beautifully.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.
