It's time to celebrate with a great wine for #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Strong fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, spices, cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, coffee, alcohol and peppercorn.

Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, mocha, coffee, peppercorn, earth and tobacco,

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Very tasty, rich and extracted, with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. I gave it couple of hours to open up properly.

Still young and will age nicely in the next 10 to 20 years.

Robert Parker 100 points.

This 2013 vintage is drinking so nicely now. Very yummy, but might be too sweet for some.

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon with 7% Petit Verdot.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

96 points.

$350.
