Picayune Cellars
Padlock Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, cedar, tobacco, coffee, toast, light vanilla, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, black cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 3 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is already delicious. Rich and fruit forward.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 90 minutes of airtime.
Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot. Aged in (20% new) French Oak barrels for 15 months. Less than 10,000 bottles made.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$42.
