Simple and nice. Dark cherry and mocha. But chalky on the finish. — 11 years ago
The Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a deep burgundy color with aromas of dark fruits, smoky cedar and dried herbs. Concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry are framed nicely by cedar and toast notes on the finish. Rich and broad in the mouth, this wine has a long finish with an expansive palate. This is a well structured and balanced wine that is medium-to-full-bodied and is ready to enjoy now or can be aged up to 5 years. — 13 years ago
This beaujo tastes a bit like a Côtes du Rhone. The nose is syrahesque with some pepper, cherry, cherry jam. I would have put the palate in saint joseph or crozes, perhaps more on the acid side. Cherry, a bit rough tannins, moderately long finish. Cool, surprising wine — 9 years ago

High acidity with cherry notes. Age is something you notice over the layers as the wine evolves on your palette. — 11 years ago
Nice big fat red wants to walk out of the glass into your mouth. Sweet cherry with palate cleansing spice final notes. — 11 years ago
Cherry, cocoa dust, smoke. Elegant and refined. Just coming into its own...learning how seductive it can really be.

Wild strawberry, red cherry scents float off the brilliant red surface of this wine. Similar favors combined with a touch of anise are framed by salivating acidity and contrasting, modest tannins. This is quite good and while opened too early, a wine that will surely deliver loads of berry fruit years to come. — 9 years ago
V12. So simple, but so good. Mocha and smoke bouquet. Clean, tart, bright cherry fruit. Earthy finish. Well done. — 10 years ago
Black raspberry, black cherry, and black currants are ripe/dried with some definite spice. This cab has a nice mineral quality that was unexpected...something like dusty rocks. Velvety tannins and a long finish. — 10 years ago

Dryer than usual cabs. Alcohol note early and through the sip but still ok. Little cherry, little vanilla, medium bodied. Enjoyable to drink but wouldn't be my first choice. Vintage 2013. — 9 years ago
