Revana Family Vineyard
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
Revana Cab 2001. Ripened black fruit on the nose. This is a elegant medium plus bodied Cabernet. A well structured valley floor wine. What you smell on the nose, is what you taste on the palate. A short decanting of 30 minutes. Let it open up in your class for 15 minutes. Supple light oak & acidity. A big fruit bomb now! My wife loves Revana! Drink up in the next 3/4 years.
2001 through 2007... I noticed variations in each btl/case. Is it just me?

Starting off 2017 with the right mindset; focusing on family and friends. And great wines! First vintage of Revana. After more than a 15 year nap, this beauty is drinking like an elegant right bank Bordeaux born from valley floor fruit and crafted with the artistry of Heidi Barrett. Cedar, burnished leather, spice box, and dusty blackberry dominate the nose. The palate is still showing plump black fruit, along with crushed rocks, graphite, and black olive. Hints of cherry and black pepper linger on the finish. Very elegant. Thank you @David L for gifting this gem to @Diana L and me. We are thoroughly enjoying it together on this chilly evening, awaiting the snow. Cheers to you and Kristen!
