Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Time for my Friday's Cabernet fix.
Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.
Sweet nose of cherries, blackberries, blueberries, spices, wood, vanilla, cloves, tobacco, coffee, chocolates, vegetables, green herbs, mint, tobacco leaf, earth and peppercorn.
Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cherries, wood, licorice, spices, dark chocolates, vanilla, earth, coffee, cola, tobacco and peppercorn.
Long finish with firm tannins and tangy cherries.
What a wonderful Cabernet from Napa this is. Well balanced and complex with a great mouthfeel. A little spicy, ripe and very fruity, with lots of chocolate notes.
Good by itself or with foods, like a big piece of steak.
Another great wine from the house of the Wagner family. This Napa Cabernet is delicious.
Aged for 20 months in French Oak barrels (70% new).
15.1% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$40.

Quilt pays tribute to Napa Valley’s wines, sourced from a patchwork of prime Napa Valley vineyards. Met Joseph Wagner on a trip to CT and tasted his wines. Tried ‘14, now the ‘15. Beautiful deep red color with aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet spice and cedar. Flavors of blackberry and cherry, almost jammy, pure velvet, with vanilla, oak and leather notes, well balanced. Dusty soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, on lingering finish ending with espresso tones. Consistent quality, has room to age. Tasting Sample.
