Royal Appointment Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2021

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim.

Light nose with cedar and chocolate notes.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, espresso, chocolates, diet cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, spicy and elegant.

Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with good structure.

Still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine. I'll have to revisit it in 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Complex and a great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Gorgeous.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 21 months in (85% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 2,400 bottles made.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$175.

Rich yet elegant. Extracted and fruit forward with a teeth staining color.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after some airtime when tannins show up.

Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.

A lovely wine from a tricky vintage in Napa Valley. Not showing any smoke taint at all. Alcohol is nicely integrated. Delicious stuff.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has great potential to become a 96+ point wine.

Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine. Would pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

It is time for some Merlot on this
#MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a short purplish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, vanilla, herbs and peppercorn.

Full-bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with black plums, black cherries, currants, cedar, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, black pepper, earth and light vanilla.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Merlot based blend from Napa valley. Rich and extracted, yet elegant. Powerful and spicy.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. The high alcohol is not too noticeable already.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years, and has good potential to become a 95+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

A very pretty wine made by Philippe Melka. Complex and well-balanced already. So nice to see that.

Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 21 months in (75% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 4 barrels.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley is already drinking nicely, but needs 90 minutes to open up.

Nicely balanced and elegant. Fruit forward and rich, but not 'in your face' kind of wine. Feels like a fruit forward Left Bank Bordeaux.

Showing nice complexity already, and the high alcohol is not too noticeable.

A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Spicy and interesting.

A great sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

Vare Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Pop and pour. Loads of red fruits and cedar. Has an interesting sweet candy like note that runs through it. Not sure if this is something that integrates with more time or if it’s just the nature of the fruit from this vineyard. — 4 years ago
