90 Points, Vinous / Antonio Galloni - The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is plump and juicy, not to mention a terrific introduction to the vintage. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather are some of the signatures. Medium in body and expressive, the 2014 will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is a terrific value within the context of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2014 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
Tasting Notes
Dark fruits of black cherry, plum and blackberry are layered seamlessly with sweet spice, herbal, dark earth and a touch of sweet tobacco in the 2014 vintage, and accompany the rich concentration, silky tannins and long finish that the winery looks forward to in their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon each year. |
