Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Stags Leap District, California It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Strong nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate and already very complex. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, light earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, cola and licorice. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District in Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced. Soft and smooth. In your face kind of wine, with a teeth staining color. Bold and beautiful. The high alcohol is still noticeable, but will integrate with time. Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 to 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 95+ point wine. Wine Spectator 93 points. Robert Parker 99 points. Wine Enthusiasts 97 points. A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 28 months in all new French oak barrels. 15.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $300.

Clos du Val Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, California Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Robert Parker 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points. A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a food.

#chardonnay #NapaValley #whitewine #wine #vin #OakKnoll
This is a very elegant Chardonnay from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley. Very tasty and easy drinking, without the oaky Chardonnay feel. Nicely balanced and complex, but doesn't show like a Napa Chardonnay. Wine Enthusiasts 91 points. Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. I had the 2023 vintage not too long ago, and this vintage is drinking better.

Ca' Momi Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley, California #AgedWineTuesday Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim. Not showing much age. Strong nose of blueberries, cooked cherries, blackberries, tobacco leaf, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, light herbs, Indian spices and black pepper. Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cooked cherries, mediterranean spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This is a gorgeous 14 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced and spicy, with great complexity. Fruit forward and elegant, tangy and interesting. Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after an hour, when the complexity shows up. I did not decant it and let it open in the bottle. I had this vintage 6 years ago, and it is drinking at the end of its peak now and will continue to do so for the next few years. A great sipping wine that also paired nicely with my prime rib steak. 14.8% alcohol by volume. 94 points. $50 (at release).
