Cathiard Vineyard
Hora Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, light black tea and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins, spices and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and restrained.
Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 90 minutes of airtime, when more structure and tannins show up. Gets earthier after two and a half hours in the decanter. Nose opens up after 2 hours.
This 2020 vintage was a tough vintage, but this wine is showing beautifully now, as a 4-year-old. I just love these Bordeaux blends from Napa.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years. Would be nice to try it again in 4 years, and see how it evolves.
Loved to see a low alcohol Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
I paired it with cheeses, crackers and prosciutto. A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Malbec. Aged for 12 months in (40% new) French Oak barrels.
13.6% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$125.
