Castello di Amorosa
Morisoli-Borges Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black currants, black plums, light blackberries, cedar, tobacco, coffee, light herbs, chocolates, black pepper, eucalyptus and light black tea.
Medium plus and body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford is already drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced and elegant. Powerful and rich. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.
Delicious right out of the bottle, and even better with airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet is beautifully complex at this young age. Soft and elegant.
Smooth, and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in new French oak barrels for 20 months.
15.3% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$175.
