Patent Wines Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, raisins, cedar, dried figs, chocolates, light cola, herbs, vanilla, licorice and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, cedar, black currants, figs, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.
Long long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll district.
Rich yet elegant. Extracted and fruit forward with a teeth staining color.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after some airtime when tannins show up.
Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.
A lovely wine from a tricky vintage in Napa Valley. Not showing any smoke taint at all. Alcohol is nicely integrated. Delicious stuff.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has great potential to become a 96+ point wine.
Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine. Would pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (75% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 550 cases.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$68.
