Varietal: Cabernet
Cost per bottle: $23+
"This Cabernet is a blend of grapes from two very different Napa Valley vineyards that complement each other well. The Steltzner Vineyard in Stags Leap produces a very pretty, elegant wine with dark fruit aromas, soft, velvety tannins, and an abundance of acidity. The Shooting Star Vineyard in Pope Valley produces a much firmer wine with big, bold tannins and raspberry, herbal aromatics. The resulting wines have a rich depth of aromas, both from the fruit and barrel aging, and a full but soft palate with concentrated flavors."
This one was a disappointment. I usually like Cabernet Sauvignon, but not this one. It's too sharp in smell and taste. That must be what they meant by 'an abundance of acidity'. It is too acidic to be able to taste any fruity notes, and it leaves your tongue dry after you swallow. There is nothing soft or velvety about it.
