  Needed a full day to settle In and open up. Even then it seem to be somewhat bitter. Won’t get this one again although I did list it as neutral because it worked well with an overdone pork chop

  Needs a long time to breath to allow it to smooth and balance itself out. Classic cap sauv.

  And finishing this tasting of Cabernet from Napa Valley postponed by the quarantine ... tasting interruptus. At first one seems to be smelling a Swiss or Austrian cassis liqueur mainly due to the strong presence of notes of ripe black berries along with all the oak from the Great Lakes plantations. In the mouth it is more diluted, presenting a medium-bodied structure and a decent acidity. Even with everything, these wines saturate me right away and it is not the best way to start this final flight of californians cabs.
  
  Y terminando esta cata de cabernet del Valle de Napa aplazada por la cuarentena ... cata interruptus.
  En principio parece estar uno oliendo un licor de cassis suizo o austriaco principalmente por la fuerte presencia de notas a bayas negras maduras junto con todo el roble de las plantaciones de los Grandes Lagos. En boca está más diluido, presentando una estructura de cuerpo medio y una acidez decente. Aun con todo, me saturan estos vinos enseguida y no es la mejor manera de iniciar esta tanda final de californianos.

  Pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon. Plum, fig, and a hint of coffee on the nose. Full bodied with a tinge of sweetness due to a bit higher residual sugar. However this fits well with the plum and cherry on the palate. Paired well with quarantine & homemade French onion soup! [3/22/20] ($10)
