What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Intense, and a bit over-oaky but with really assertive crème de cassis and jammy black berry fruit over a flush of ripe herb, eucalyptus and chili notes. Rich yet very suave with a very peppery attack that leads to a mouth filling mid-palate that is marred by the austere tannins. While the acidity is not assertive it is exceptionally well integrated and adds a really fine freshness to the fruit. This is deep yet agile in the mouth offering refreshing spice, anise, tarragon, and bay leaf tones to the juicy, very ripe but still fresh wild berry tones. This turns a bit fudgy with air and while it is richly read more...

Again, tasted at Snooth Blind Tasting ... Opaque, dense wine. First impression was that this was a Zinfandel from Dry Creek than a Cab from Napa. Definitely not a wine for me. It was big, jammy with sweetness.

A peppery wine, rich, over oaked with jammy fruits. Its very well integrated and nice, but a bit austere in terms of structure.

Tasted at the Snooth PTP California Cab blind tasting:
