Zakin Family Estate
Napa Valley Proprietary red wine
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, herbs, chocolates and spices.
Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cedar, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This gorgeous 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Fruit forward and elegant. Nicely balanced and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Another delicious wine from the hands of Philippe Melka. Complex and rich.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Paired very nicely with my cheese plate.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$150.
