Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 9, 2021 - Happy Mother’s Day! Opened this bottle after dinner and wanted the full expression of this Mountain Fruit! I believe that Napa Valley AVA of Spring Mountain and St Helena is the best region in not only California but rivals Bordeaux in every way. I opened this 2011 Barnett Rattlesnake Hill Cabernet Sauvignon and aeration and with a Dispensor directly into a glass. I let it stand for several minutes and swirled to open up. The noise was still fruit forward but had many hints of burnt cedar planks, Ripe Cherry, and a little “funk” of some musty wet stone and gravel notes. On the first taste, the smooth lushness and brilliant tannins are like drinking silk. The lingering notes of blueberries and wet stone predominate and what can only be described as a truly great example of Cabernet Sauvignon! Enjoy for those that have....seek for those that don’t!
