V. Sattui Winery Rutherford Dust Up Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley, California

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with oak, chocolates, spices, herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Napa Cabernet from Rutherford is drinking beautifully already. Fruit forward and elegant, soft and smooth. Nicely balanced and complex, tangy and spicy.

Very approachable right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours in the decanter. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94 point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

Grapes were aged for 19 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels. A small production of only 3,144 bottles.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$185.

Château Canon Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé 2017, Bordeaux, France

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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of cherries, blueberries, plums, Indian spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, sweet tobacco, herbs and light earth.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, light earth, eucalyptus, bitter herbs and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a beautiful Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and elegant. Soft and smooth, spicy and entertaining.

This 9 year old still feels young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Robert Parker 96 points. Wine Spectator 94 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (56% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$125.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

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

Dry on the palate and very fruity, with a beautiful nose.

Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, coffee, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light earth, herbs and pencil lead.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

This is the same wine that won the Judgment of Paris in 1976, 48 vintages later.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is very rich, and 'in your face' kind of wine. Complex, opulent and elegant.

Caldwell Vineyard Platinum Proprietary Red 2013, Napa Valley, California

#AgedWineTuesday

Inky in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.

Strong nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice, coffee, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf, dark chocolates, eucalyptus and mediterranean spices.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, herbs, spices, light cola, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This gorgeous 13 year old Cabernet Franc based Bordeaux blend from Coombsville in Napa Valley is drinking at its peak now. Rich, extracted and 'in your face' kind of wine. Nicely balanced and very complex.

The Carmenere is very dominant right now, and it feels more like a Napa Merlot. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and even better after 45 minutes of airtime.

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

A blend of 51% Cabernet Franc, 32% Carmenere, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot. Aged in all new French oak barrels. A tiny production of 1,044 bottles.

15% alcohol by volume.
