Napa Valley, California, USA
Secret Door Winery JML Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, California
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, tobacco, vanilla, spices, chocolates, dark coffee and vegetables.
Dry and fruit forward. Big, yet elegant with a soft mouthfeel.
Long finish with fine grained tannins.
A good quality wine that will age nicely in the next 10 years.
Nicely balanced, elegant and smooth. Will be interesting to try it again in 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle and gets earthier as it opens up (4 hours).
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Will pair nicely with barbecue meats like a big piece of steak. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$65.
