Limelight Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Parallel Wines Limelight Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color, almost Inky, with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose with chocolate notes, vanilla and cedar.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, vanilla, leather, chocolates, tobacco, black pepper, light tar, earth and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 7 year old Napa Cabernet is already delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Rich and extracted, yet elegant. A gorgeous wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
A great wine from Philippe Melka. Has great potential to become a 95+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Thank you Barry for sharing this with me.
