Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews

A rich red, this is structured and firm in the middle, then it loosens up to a touch of sweetness in the end. There's interesting detail in the tannins, yielding the scent of tobacco and the feel of crushed stone. The flavors are smoky with oak, broad and juicy, built for eggplant roasted with ground lamb. 

Yeasty, like baked bread, this thick, leathery and peppery wine is surrounded by a wealth of burly tannins. The oak well integrated, it will nonetheless benefit from further aging to coax more of its dark raspberry and blackberry fruit. Cellar through 2020. — V.B.

A gutsy, rustic style, with raw, chewy tannins and a strong wood presence giving this the initial impression of an overly tannic effort. With time, however, the ripeness of the fruit and tannins should make this quite pleasing.  –JL
