Cabernet Sauvignon

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Pritchard Hill in Napa.  Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose has cassis, clay and spice.  With air a bit of espresso comes out.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, cassis, very light char, cinammon and bit of coffee bean.  Plenty of depth.  Good finish.  This is young and should improve a couple points.  It can be drunk now with some air but better to cellar for five to seven years and drink for ten after that.  Great on its own, this would work well with grilled meats or mushrooms.  6000 bottles produced.

This is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Merlot from Washington state.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright.  The nose has black cherries, cedar and dust.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Flavors of black cherries, some cassis, spice and cedar.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  At age 18, this is getting close to peak but still packs a punch.  It is a big wine.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  It drinks well on its own and will work well with most (not seafood) dishes.  Roasted Chicken would work nicely.
