Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

@Delectable Wine this is Preciado Cabernet 2016. Inaugural vintage released a few months ago. It was not in your database. Gemstone tasting graciously arranged by Al Buis tonight! I don't know if I should really be putting a number rating to this wine. Its best days are definitely ahead of it. This is a combination of coombsville, outpost, and gemstone Vineyard fruit. At the price this inaugural vintage fetches, this wine rates a 98. Reeling it back in, reality tells me that this is a 94 right now, which means that I feel this one should be able to go 10 years, but not entirely sure as it is extremely approachable now. I do believe it will age well for the first three to five years. It has a lot of sweet black fruit right on the opening. I was getting a little bit of molasses, chocolate in the middle, herbs toward the Finish. Very solid chalky youthful black backbone. Finishes with a lot of heft, and a lot of tannin. I recorked and took one bottle that had about 50 ml missing. I plan on opening that in 2 days to see how this develops. — 6 years ago

This is a 9.4 all day for me, with the possibility of increasing 1-2 points with additional bottle age. Brand new wine and an incredibly nice owner and winemaker behind it. The fruit (mainly blackberries and black cherry) is incredibly rich...fresh squeezed like. Dark chocolate, cinnamon, and cassis. Approachable with a short decant. Lights out for $60!

Rohit, you just summarized all my wines. Need a job in marketing? They all need time, even the small value wines as what is value at Fass selection is usually 2-3 X the price via 3 tiers. Glad you enjoyed. The costs cauda is a stunner
