2019 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
12/11/2023 - Tahlequahdave1972 Likes this wine: 90 Points
PNP and consumed over two hours. Deep violet in the glass. Aromas of dark fruit and a touch of violets. Black fruits, vanilla and cola on the palate. Medium structure/mouthfeel that was supple initially but grew bolder with time. Reasonably balanced, velvety and refined with a medium length finish. Not a top tiered Napa cab, but respectable and enjoyable all the same!

2013 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon
12/1/2023 - Tahlequahdave1972 Likes this wine: 92 Points
PNP and consumed over two days with little change. Was struck by the "freshness" of the wine, even at 10 years old. Aromas of red and blue fruits carried over into the flavor profile while adding hints of mushroom, forest floor and pencil lead. Actually, pretty complex for an entry level cab. Balanced and resolved with sufficient structure to go a few more years. Medium length finish that was pleasing to the palate.

2016 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Signature
11/24/2023 - Tahlequahdave1972 Likes this wine: 93 Points
PNP and consumed over two hours. Lovely cab from start to finish. No formal notes but best described as balanced and resolved, bordering on exquisite, with just enough tannic structure remaining to provide body and complexity. Red/blue fruits predominate, with a pleasant hint of sweetness at the end. In the prime drinking window for my personal tastes. Wow!
