Robert John Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a short purplish rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, oak, licorice, vanilla, mint, vegetables, dust, chocolates, earth and peppercorn.
Full bodied, smooth and bold, with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet raspberries, figs, vanilla, licorice, oak, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead, dark chocolates, coke and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Well balanced with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Bold and rich, yet elegant. Smooth with a tangy ending that makes it interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better as it opens up and shows some tannins. After 90 minutes of airtime, vegetables come in on the nose, but not much on the palate.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature. Good by itself as a sipping wine.
Soft and yummy.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$55.

With a filet and potatoes and corn on the cob - my fave grilling meal with a great cab. This one was a typical Napa Cab with ruby color, black fruit aromas and tannic, dry. Opens up with more flavor and complexity after 90 min of decanting.

Needs an hour to open but really pleasant. 100% cab , last bottle deal so +/- skeptical. Cola, vanilla, fruity, wee bit underbrush/dry herbs.
