The Vayniac Cabernet has Finally Arrived, Episode #790 (12/21/2009)
Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa. COLOR-dark; NOSE-gorgeous black cherries and black currants; it's a big nose coming across with very serious structure; a hint of cedar box and tobacco on the back-end, but very dark fruit; PALATE-great grip on the mid-palate; more approachable than I expected; the tannins are sweet; there's a really black tea meets black currant inkiness that I find quite exceptional; it showing great youth; quite surprised how structured this is for being so young; the fruit is quite sweet; this is for those who like Caymus and Shafer as it has fruit; it's smooth and it's big; candied raspberry; GV-No Score |
