It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of sweet cherries, currants, blueberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, milk chocolates, tobacco leaf and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Elegant and easy drinking. Fruit forward and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (30% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

A surprise stunner. Incredible depth of complexity that shows itself as this deep colored rich but not overbearing Pinot noir breathes.
It’s my pick for this week’s well valued - with just enough intrigue, complexity, and fancy — to keep it in your thoughts winner. — 4 years ago

Full bodied, but a total fruit bomb. Smooth, rich and slightly velvety. Lots of tannins, finishes bolder. — 4 months ago

Does not taste like a Pinot. But it is delicious. Hefty, but not tannic or spicy. Dark berry flavor, but not super earthy — 4 years ago

88% Zinfandel, 9% Petite Sirah, 3% Mission. Don’t usually drink California Zinfandels but the blend caught my eye. It’s a very nice fruity wine with notes of cherry on the palate. — 5 years ago
