Blind Wine Tasting and Top $50 Wines., Episode #131 (11/20/2006)
Napa Cabernet. #1; NOSE-great, exotic, licorice, tobacco, red sweet currants, raspberry w/ sugar on top, very aromatic; TASTE-WOW!!, huuuge winner, great mocha, espresso, silky smooth finish, orange peel, raspberry, SKITTLES, strawberry jam, "this is what a new world, explosive, cult Cabernet should taste like. If I didn't know better, I would've thought they'd snuck in a $200-$300 bottle of Harlan or Bryant Family." SPECTACULAR; ST-91; GV-95 95 points |
