A very enjoyable 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from Saint Helena.
Showing red and black fruits with earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn and coffee.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy pomegranates.
Doesn't show like a Napa Cabernet. Feels more like a California Merlot. Not what I expected from a Napa Cabernet at this age. Very tasty, though.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$75.
