Community Tasting Notes 3

    December 21, 2020 - This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

    Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, spices and black pepper.

    Very interesting nose with Indian spices and nice complexity.

    Nice finish with spices and round tannins.

    Needs 2 hours to open up properly, and show the tannins and structure.

    Good right out of the bottle and better after it opens up, so be patient.

    I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

    Aged in French oak barrels for 26 months.

    14.9% alcohol by volume.

    91 points.

    $55.

    September 11, 2020 - Inky in color with a reddish rim.

    Fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, oak, blackcurrants, black cherries, licorice, vanilla, mint, tobacco, black pepper, chocolates, coffee, carmel and spices.

    Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

    Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, cooked cherries, dried figs, tobacco, wood, vanilla, cloves, chocolates, cola, black tea, peppercorn, spices, light earth, graphite and dark coffee.

    Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

    This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Very chocolatey, with a nice mouthfeel and nice complexity.

    Would be nice to see how this 4 year old will develop in the next 3 to 5 years.

    Needs time to open up. I gave it 90 minutes. Once it opens up, tannins show up and bring nice structure. Easy drinking and delicious. Very enjoyable.

    Good by itself or with food, like BBQ Meats.

    Aged in French Oak barrels for 26 months . A small production of only 500 cases.

    14.9% alcohol by volume.

    91 points.

    $55.
