Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, cooked cherries, raisins, cedar, dried fruits, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and light earth.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich, elegant and fruit forward.

Drinking at its peak now. Nicely balanced and smooth, with a soft mouthfeel.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and even better after 30 minutes of airtime. I did not decant it, but let it open up in the bottle. Really enjoyed the nose after an hour of airtime.

Easy drinking, and good by itself as a sipping wine, or with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

9.3

Opaque garnet/purple.
Nose of black currant, sour black cherry, dry rose petals, forest floor.
Perfectly balanced acid for age worthiness. Gritty to velvety tannins. Opened too soon. Enjoyed over the course of a week:) decades of aging potential. — 21 days ago

Not the best vintage but this was very impressive. Decadent but refined and elegant. Rounded off the red wines beautifully — 16 days ago

@Andrew McIntyre, hey, Palmer is “Palmer”, no apologies are EVER necessary when you’re lucky enough to drink some. I only have some bottles of 1983 left in my cellar (a nearly perfect wine), but was blessed enough to have some NYC friends when I was “learning” back in the 1980s who graciously shared some 1961/66/70 Palmer with me!!

@Doug Powers Kind of have the feeling that there are no bad Palmer. Was really surprised how good this was!
