Gemstone Vineyards
Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Gorgeous nose of blackberries, cooked plums, raisins, eucalyptus, earth, dried figs, tobacco, spices, oregano, light vegetables, cedar, vanilla, pencil lead, leather, chocolates, mint, herbs and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs. Smooth and elegant.
Dry on the palate and fruity, with blackberries, black plums, cedar, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, leather, spices, light vegetables, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Nicely aged and drinking extremely well now.
Well balanced with great complexity and a smooth mouthfeel. Tasty and tangy with a teeth staining color and a very interesting nose.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. After 3 hours in the decanter, tannins show up and bring nice structure.
Robert Parker 93 points.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
This 11 year old is peaking now, and will be good in the next 5 to 7 years. Rich and extracted. Spicy and interesting.
So enjoyable by itself, but good with food too. A great sipping wine that I paired with great company.
96 points.
$100.
