Saunter Wines
Swagger Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This comes from the personal label of vineyard manager Josh Clark and his wife Heather. Winemaker is Thomas Rivers Brown.
This is Samuel L. Jackson cast as Henry David Thoreau. A richly polished voice, with an attitude and a cadence that would even make gibberish entertaining. Beyond the ostensible hedonism, though, there's a substance that is layered, nuanced, and contemplative. But the former can certainly make it hard to focus on the latter.
Opens with some obvious, but not overpowering, malo butteriness which sets up perfectly for the blueberry pimp coat that takes center stage, surrounded by pencil shavings, crème de cassis, licorice, baked fig, and cigar box.

This has come together nicely in the last couple of years. Very delicious and complete with a nice full mid-palate.

A much better showing than the last time. I swear the coravin changes things. More rounded and full bodied. Tannins better integrated this time around.
