Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 18, 2014 - My first taste of Napa Cabernet. Don't see much US wine on the shelves here in Australia. Decanted this for 90 minutes before tasting. Dark ruby red, with a purple hue showing the youth of the wine. Nice viscosity appears on the walls of my glass. A struggle between red and black fruits to take prominence, plus a presence of earth are all evident in the taste. A little spice comes forth on the front palate, however a wave of alcoholic hotness takes over on the middle and to some degree on the back palate. This detracts a little from an otherwise quality fine red wine. The fruit is there in spades, but the noticeable hotness reduces the experience marginally.
