It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity, with a beautiful nose.

Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, coffee, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light earth, herbs and pencil lead.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink beautifully now. Spicy and entertaining.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

This is the same wine that won the Judgment of Paris in 1976, 48 vintages later.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is very rich, and 'in your face' kind of wine. Complex, opulent and elegant.

Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Robert Parker 95 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and also paired nicely with my steak frites.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 21 months.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Dark fruit in the nose with plums, black cherries, leather and blackberries in the palate. Paired well with steak au poivre. Drank in 2026, could use aeration to fully enjoy the wine. — 4 months ago

Clear, pale gold in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary aromas of lemon, starfruit, and citrus blossoms; on the palate, it's dry, with medium acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary flavors of lemon peel, honeydew, and white pages with a long finish. This wine is balanced and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 4 months ago

Welcome trade to Pebble Beach Food & Wine.

This was good but the SLV showed much better. Love the espresso notes. Good pair with the Gator Sausage.  — 6 months ago

Jarvis has always been such a unique producer with its incredible underground facility and fascinating lineup of wines. Their Finch Hollow Chardonnays (this one and the Unfiltered version) are outrageously expensive, but they sure know how to deliver on flavor profile.

My notes here are actually quite similar to the 2015 I opened last year, but everything is a touch more restrained. Normally quite rich with expensive oak usage, this seems nicely balanced…it’s almost fresh in profile. Sweet lemon cream alongside marzipan and sea breeze aromatically. From a phenolic standpoint, it’s close to some of the Aubert offerings with its powerful texture. Finishes with a surprising amount of honeysuckle, caramel dipped apple, and honeycrisp. This seems to be built for a bit longer aging compared to the 2015. I’ll be curious to see how the 2018 is. — 5 years ago

Even the hands of time come to a halt. Now discontinued, this was a familiar and accessible goto bottle which rarely disappointed. This is one of their last vintages and nearing its peak drinkability… I’m gonna miss seeing this label at restaurant lists, shop shelves and impromptu gatherings 🙃 — 9 months ago

Textbook high-end Petite Sirah. Inky, brooding, and well structured. Cracked black pepper, violets, expensive oak, black licorice, and smoky incense. — 5 years ago
