Tried again! Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, floral and herb spice notes. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry and with nutty spice and cedar notes. Medium length, firm tannins, ok balance ending with oak and pepper spice. Ok, good now!

Black cherry, raspberry preserves, vanilla, cassis, eucalyptus and oak. Full-bodied and velvety tannins.

Today I have opened the 2018 The Pey Family Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon. From Saint Helena, CA Napa Valley. This is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot. A nice surprise at this price point, well worth it.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum sauce, vegetal notes, black currant, mint, spice, violets and earth.

On the palate I find black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, spice, mocha, pencil shavings and earth.

This wine is full bodied with a fresh vibrant mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium+ sandpaper tannins that leaves you with a long vegetal black fruit earthy finish. A beautiful wine from the Pey Family. Have a wonderful weekend and please stay safe and healthy as we all start looking forward to the holidays ahead. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Aiming at a straight ahead Napa style Cab.
Darker fruits, some currants and blackberry. Hint of pip bitterness. Tannins are fresh and noticable.
'aiming at dinner party conversation, not shouting.'

Blackberry, vanilla, touch of spice. Opened up quite a bit after breathing.
