It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Spicy and pretty nose of black fruits, cedar, vanilla, chocolates, toast, tobacco, bell pepper, coffee and peppercorn.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, cooked cherries, blackberries, sweet plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and Indian spices.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, but not aggressive. Powerful and fruit forward with nice complexity.
This 6 year old Cabernet is still young, but starting to drink beautifully now. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Robert Parker 97 points.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, and bring in complexity and structure. Loved smelling on it once it opened up.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 22 months in (70% new) French Oak barrels. A small production of only 350 cases.
15.1% alcohol by volume.

$160.
