2019 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/26/2024 - Matt Scott wrote: 88 pointsWell made and a bit much in some aspects, but the finish sails on. Blackberries, cassis, currants and crushed rock. Full with body. If you enjoy ripe, bigger Napa, you will love this. Enjoyable and not meek, with obvious dimension. Velvety tannins. Drink now - 2033. |

4/26/2024 - JeffShuck Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpens up well. Not as sharp as a Bordeaux to me, which I mean as a compliment. Nicely balanced, will be interesting to try in a year but drinking nicely now. 92.5. |

4/26/2024 - ProbirR Likes this wine: 91 pointsBeautiful deep, dark ruby wine that starts with a nose of tobacco, oak, vanilla, dark fruits - blackberry, black cherry. The initial taste is bold, with high acidity and medium to high tannins. Medium body. Long bold finish. |

4/26/2024 - tomoem wrote: 91 pointsOnce again this wine is a tremendous effort. Not very aromatic with hard to locate fruits on the nose but i get apple slices and a steely background. In mouth there are pineapple and sweet lemon flavors. The wine has a fair amount of acidity. Finish is fairly well balanced between fruit and acidity. |

2020 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/26/2024 - Delund Likes this wine: 90 pointsBenefitted from a 90 minute decant, 60 F. Rich sweet blackberry fruit on the nose with smokey vanilla and anise notes. Low acidity, no noticeable heat, oak needs some more time to integrate. Pleasant tannins with just a touch of velvety grip. Big, sweet black fruits on the palate, blueberry, dried oak. Drying finish of medium length. I will try to hold off for 2 years before I open my next bottle. |

2012 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon Kathryn Hall Napa Valleymore |
4/26/2024 - 1saxman Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted 1hr. Think this ‘12 still has plenty of life to it. The alcohol is there but doesn’t overwhelm the late finish.Black fruit primary , wet stone , earthy , medium tannins, good acid . Good time to open over the next year but no rush. |

4/25/2024 - jcampano Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for 3 hours, but it needed at least twice that. Young and loaded with black fruit aromas and flavors. Notes of violets, graphite and licorice. Grippy tannins, and needs time in the cellar to evolve. |

2019 Grgich Hills Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
4/26/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep dark reddish-purple almost opaque in color. Full, forward, & fragrant aromas of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of dusty/earthy & floral notes, herbs, olives, anise, pepper, cocoa, minerals, leather & hints of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, minerals & a note of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing (90 min+) but should develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (93+). Very good QPR. A classically styled & reasonably priced Napa Cabernet in stark contrast to the modern manufactured, overpriced & overripe vanilla/oak frankenwines. |

2014 Acumen Cabernet Sauvignon MountainsideNapa Valley more |
4/25/2024 - Delund Likes this wine: 91 pointsPopped and poured, then sipped over the next few hours. Initially cellar temp, gradually warmed up to 60 F. I don't think this would benefit from a warmer temperature. Deep ruby color. Sweet black cherry on the nose with vanilla and milk chocolate. Hints of clove and dried leather. Soft dusty, drying tannins which gradually moved to a silky, but still drying, texture. Well-integrated acidity that may be starting to fade. No noticeable heat, good use of charred oak regimen. Medium-bodied for a Napa Cab. Tart blackberry fruit, black cherry, savory plum on the palate with cedar, dark chocolate, earth, minerals and licorice. Medium-length drying finish. Red meat friendly. Good QPR. Probably at its peak, so drink soon. |
