The Walls Vineyards Stanley Groovy A Cab Supreme Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Washington State 

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. 

Dark inky in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, black plums, black currants, cooked cherries, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, light earth, spices, light black tea and black pepper.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, earth, licorice, light cedar, herbs, black pepper and light green tea. 

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington state. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and engaging. Nicely balanced and complex.

This Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Washington State is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Has good potential to become a 93+ point wine. 

Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 60 Minutes in the decanter. The alcohol is already well integrated. 

Delicious by itself or with food. A great sipping wine. 

A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot. 

14.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$45.

Kukeri Wines Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, California 

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits with cedar, licorice, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and eucalyptus. 

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn. 

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. 

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley feels more like a Left Bank Bordeaux. An interesting wine out of Stags Leap District. 

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and engaging. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and tangy. 

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. Really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.  

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. 

Delicious by itself as a sipping wine and with food. 

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. A small production of only 75 cases.

14.5% alcohol by volume. 

92 points. 

$85.

With a pH around 2.99, the wine keeps a crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.
Still very enjoyable to drink.

Chateau du Tailhas Pomerol 2008, Bordeaux, France 

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back! 

Dark ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim. 

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light wood, herbs, light chocolates, earth, coffee and black pepper. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, dark chocolates and black tea. 

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. 

This is a delicious Merlot from Pomerol. Well balanced and complex. Tangy and tasty. 

Rich and elegant, with enough fruits to compliment the earth notes. Spicy and entertaining. 

This 18 year old is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. 

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is much better with age. 

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food. 

A blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in (50% new) French oak barrels. 

13% alcohol by volume.
