It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. This time it's a delightful Cabernet from Sonoma County.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose with blackberries, blackcurrants, plums, cherries, light vanilla, eucalyptus, earth, licorice, mint, cloves, spices, dark chocolates and black pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, leather, chocolates and earth.

Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a great Cabernet Sauvignon from knights Valley in Sonoma County. Well balanced with nice complexity and a very soft and smooth mouthfeel.

Good by itself or with food. Fruit forward, spicy and elegant. This is a good wine to sip on by the porch.

Needs an hour to open up properly and balance itself out.
At this point the high alcohol is not noticeable, which is always nice.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is very approachable now, and will be good in the next 10 years.

I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.

Aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

50/50 Zin & Petite Sirah head-pruned in obsidian-rich volcanic soil that glows in the moonlight explodes smoothly with lush roots. What's not to love? My hat goes off to the whole crew at Rock Wall for pulling the rabbit out ears first. — 10 years ago

Superb nose of cherry and earth and blood. Very intense! The palate is superb too with an exquisite balance between a delicious cherry juice and a long acid backbone. Slight tannins kick in in the end to mark a long finish with fruits and cherry moonlight notes. Once again foillard delivers big time in a more subtle, precise way than 14 and 15.

Low alcohol content and decent tannins make this wine easy drinking. And not bad for a prelude to something more serious down the road. — 8 years ago

Black cherries and dates dancing in the dusty moonlight. Ate it with a ragu that had some shaved nutmeg in it. — 8 years ago

Smells like an expensive leather shoe. I guess it's Pet Nat? Nicely balanced and clean - smashed it pretty quickly at the Jungle Gym. I give it tre ciliegie🍒🍒🍒 — 9 years ago

$23. Temptress, meadow lark by moonlight, flitting about, trapped in my nostrils before delving into the unknown. You probe me, unbutton my coat, press me into my seat. This cannot last, this presence, this provocation, and yet here you are, smothering me. A full embrace. I am left in this boundless purgatory, shackled by the infinite you bear. The truth is somewhere at the end, in a puddle on the ground. Don't leave me lonely. — 9 years ago

Nose of cherry, cherry moonlight, licorice. Very round and yummy palate with cherry and a metallic gamay touch. Soft tannins that kick a bit the roundness around and makes this wine remarkable. Very good — 7 years ago

Like a fire in a stable but the horse kicks the cedar door down and rides wildly out into the moonlight only to buck you off into a raspberry bush where you piss yourself while smoking a cigar. — 8 years ago
