My final bottle of a great Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Bought at Luna Vineyards. Fully mature and ripe. On the nose, lots of red ripe juicy fruits. Lots of raspberries, blueberries, some bell peppers on the backend with the alcohol and tannins well integrated. On the palette, the same red fruits with slight grippy tannins. Nice long finish. Well made and at a peak drinking period. Great 3 years ago and still solid today.

A spectacular showing, this has entered its prime. Full bodied, rich, and dense, with hedonistic notes of plump red fruit, cassis, cedar, graphite, and violets on a bed of earth. Bottle age and milk chocolate lace the long finish. Layered, textured, and simply delicious.

I've anticipated trying this bottle. Bought from the vineyards 7 years ago. Absolute lovely bottle of wine. Deep rich dark red crimson and purple in colour. Nose is wonderful medley of red cherries, blueberries, milk chocolate, oak. all so well integrated after 10 years in the bottle. On the palette, absolute big ripe rich fruit with a nice long aftertaste. Still some acidity and very mellow tannins. Its at its peak and has paid off with time. Really enjoyable top cab sav. One of the better bottles I've had in a long time. Well made and glad to still have one more bottle.

New World Blind Tasting Group $25+ (Bin 75): Opaque core showing age with dull garnet rim; cooked red fruit, currant, spice, some chocolate; sharp palate, softer structure, cooked fruit; on the edge of collapse, drink soon; called '05-'07 Napa Cab.

Very nice Cab. Oak was light and just about right for my taste. Big, deep fruit.
