Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Oaky berry campfire. Not a typical cab. Lay down a few years to take off some fruit for some more substance. — 8 years ago

Strong colour, fleshy body, powerful and great nose for this 2013. Even it is too young great potential and oak aromas very integrated. Keep it in the cellar for years! — 8 years ago

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Yes it's Friday, and it's time for my Cabernet fix.

Beautiful color of dark purple with a purplish rim.

Nice nose of wild flowers, blueberries, currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, smoke, chocolates, mocha, alcohol, dark coffee, peppercorn and spices.

Medium plus in body and rich, with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, green vegetables, bell pepper, leather, smoke, chocolates, mocha, wood, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Long finish with angular tannins and black pepper.

This Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville is fantastic. Spicy and complex, however, it is not balanced yet. Too young and harsh right now, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. A very typical Napa nose and palate with a great finish.

I have another bottle that I will keep for at least 5 more years. Needs to be opened for an hour or so to show complexity and tannins.

I found it to be better than the 2012 vintage.

Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (60% new).

14.9% alcohol by volume.

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Fantastic Bottle. Notes of Black Cherry with a Vanilla Oak Finish. Soft tannins gives a nice, but not overbearing, leathery mouthfeel. — 8 years ago

9.0

Classic cherries, leather, dirt, sweet and sour, balsamic and American oak. Better after a couple hours on the decanter. It doesn't knock my socks off, but it's an amazing value at the price. — 9 years ago
