2016 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon, USA, California, Napa, Rutherford, Wine Review
Wow. An incredible wine. it is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California. Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright. The nose is great with cassis, graphite, cedar, blueberries, spices and dark chocolate. Full bodied. Firm tannins. This is young but starting to develop nicely. Great balance and energy. On the palate, flavors of cassis, blueberries, chocolate, char and slight cigar. Long finish. Complex and layered, it opens quickly in the glass. This will continue to evolve but is a masterpiece right now. Drink over the next twenty to thirty years.
Turnbull 2021 Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
When Turnbull launched in 1979 it was with the goal of producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course, at the time there was a lot of excellent Cabernet in the market. But as many Napa Cabernets chose to make enormous and heavy-handed wines, Turnbull chose a different direction. The craftsmanship of this is an homage to Old-School Napa Cabernet - those wines not often made anymore that truly prized the plot of land and extolled the fruit over the use of high brix and lots of oak. So if you want to taste Cabernet the way it used to be, this will complement any occasion.

2021 Domaine Bousquet Gran Cabernet Sauvignon , Argentina, Mendoza, Uco Valley, Wine Review
2022 Domaine Bousquet Cabernet Sauvignon, Argentina, Mendoza, UCO Valley, Wine Review
Made with organic grapes. Purple/ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cassis, dust and char. Nice texture. Medium to full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, cassis, slight black olive with a bit of char. Good balance. Slight bitter cherry note on the finish. The drinks nicely and easily on its own and will work well with foods (not seafood) off the grill. Drink over the next five to eight years. Another excellent value.
