Community Tasting Note

  • oakville72 Likes this wine: 93 points

    November 18, 2022 - Had trouble getting the cork out of the bottle, so had to pour the wine thru a filter. Great color and vibrant nose still. Tastes relatively young for its age. Restrained Cabernet Sauvignon brambly flavors and good acidity indicative of earlier harvesting or a cooler vintage. Almost St. Estephe like, tho definitely Napa. Just 13.2% alcohol. Very well balanced. At its peak, not yet on the downward slide.
