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.

This wine was great! No bitter after taste for me and the little bit of sweetness was nice - not too much. — 11 years ago

Mmmmm southern Illinois wine. Delicious. Sweet at first, but not cloying. Perfect for just drinking. — 13 years ago

Dark fruit and baking spice on the nose. Juicy dark berries mixed with ripe plums on the body giving way to an unexpected, but much appreciated, gentle wave of acidity. — 7 years ago

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

Late Harvest Petit Manseng. Candied pineapple, candied mango, candy papaya and a honey crème brûlée flavor with the superior acidity that Petit Manseng is known for. This is an utterly beautiful wine. — 12 years ago

Beautiful purple colour, very young tasting, cranberries, little tannin, cherry. Hints of minerals. Would love to see this wine with a few years of age to it. — 11 years ago

Fabulous wine with the amazing tropical fruit that you would expect from Petit Manseng, finished almost dry. One of the best white wines ever made in the state of Virginia. — 12 years ago
