Altamura 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California
Vivino 4.7 Rating
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a charming, sweetly fruited effort with loads of character. First produced in 1985 and all from estate fruit, aged in 70% new barrels, its healthy purple hue is followed by forward notes of redcurrants, darker berries, tobacco leaf, and loamy earth. Medium to full-bodied, with a layered, sexy, rounded style on the palate, it’s perfect for enjoying any time over the coming 10-12 years or more.
Purlieu 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Teucer Vineyard Coombsville Napa Valley
Wine Advocate 98 Rating
Coming from Coombsville AVA, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Teucer Vineyard is one of those real stand-out, singular wines, revealing a deep purple-black color and profoundly intense nose of cassis, black soil and black cherries with hints of charcoal, allspice, violets and dark chocolate plus a waft of dried leaves. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the palate is packed with loads of flavor layers, framed by ripe yet firm, grainy tannins and finishing very long with mineral suggestions.
Quintessa 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Napa Valley California
Wine Enthusiast 100 Rating
This is a winemaker’s master class in blending and understanding of a long-standing site. Dried herb, cedar and pencil shavings accent lifted red fruit and brilliant acidity on the palate, with a supple yet still youthfully grippy texture that is framed by structured, graceful tannins. Enjoy from 2029–2039.
Dancing Hares 2017 Proprietary Red Napa Valley California
Vivino 4.4 Rating
The 2017 Dancing Hares overflows with scents of plum preserve, crème de cassis, and spice box. The velvet structure of the wine evolves into deep flavors of warm licorice, black fruits, and olive tapenade that glide across the silky palate, then finish with volume and length. Made of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot.
Ghost Block 2020 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California
Vivino 4.4 Rating
This wine offers a harmonious balance of rich dark fruit, blackberries, and plums with hints of violet, chocolate, vanilla, and spices with aromatics on the palate. Fined grain tannins frame the velvety mid-palate with a crisp, lingering finish. This wine is well-structured and complex and will perfectly pair with grilled lamb chops.
Favia 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville Napa Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 97+ Rating
Grown in the southern, cooler end of the valley and brought up in a mix of new and used French Oak, this is quintessential Coombsville, expressing the volcanic soils and cool temperatures with textural and aromatic intensity. The stunning 100% Cabernet Sauvignon mesmerizes at the first swirl of the glass with seductive aromatics of dark currants and cassis accented by candied violets, pencil lead and tobacco. The full-bodied palate offers flawless balance, seamless tannins, and a long, supple finish. This will age gracefully for multiple decades.
