Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley opens with a black cherry and black currant bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, mouthwatering and fruit forward. The flavor profile is an extracted blackberry and oak blend with notes of black currant and black plum. I also detected some hints of stony minerality. The finish is dry, and its fine-grained tannins and flavors linger nicely. This versatile Cab would pair well with many meals. I paired it with bacon and sautéed mushroom burger at the Olde Bryan Inn: Restaurant & Tavern in Saratoga Springs. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The wine is brimming with fruit aromas and flavors biased to the black fruit end of the Cabernet spectrum: plums, blackberry, and black currant. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this Cabernet drinks well on release but will soften and develop with additional age. For those who seek youthful fresh Cabernet fruit aromas and a more structured wine, drink it from 2022 through 2026. If you prefer the less fruity, more developed bottle bouquet aromas and a softer, more velvety wine on the palate, drink it from 2027-2037.
