It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.

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

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

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf, light earth, Indian spices, dark coffee and light pencil lead.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and spices.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully. Such a great surprise.

Well balanced with great complexity. Soft, with a smooth mouthfeel.

This 6 year old Cabernet is elegant and robust at the same time.
Rich and extracted. Powerful, yet restrained. Loved the nose here.

Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 4 hours of airtime.

I had the 2013 vintage 3 years ago, but it wasn't as good as this one. Might have been that specific bottle.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Such a great experience to drink it with the wine maker.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

Amazing nose - so aromatic, so fresh, so enticing & evolving in the glass.
Plums, mulberries, dark crunchy cherries, a hint of kirsch. Plus quite a pinch of spices - cloves, black pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon stick. Plus some graphite & rocky notes. Rich yet fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, with fleshy black fruit, uplifting spices, velvety tannins. Great purity & depth. And so dangerously drinkable.
Brilliant!

I remember loving this the last time I had it (August ‘19). Still lovely. Not as juicy as previous notes. Still Blackberry, blueberry, and vanilla. Less fruity than I remember but that makes sense. Black olive / almost iodine blew off in an hour replaced by pencil shavings. There is a molasses quality to this I associate with the ‘13 Roy estate and ‘13 Roy Cor Leonis. A ‘13 thing? This wine makes me think of a song by Black Keys - Thickfreakness for some reason. Look it up you’ll thank me. — 3 years ago

Too early but trying before I buy more. Stellar. Lots of upside. Dark. Sticky. Reminds me of a ‘13 Cor Leonis a little. — 6 months ago
