Summers Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA


 

This wine is made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon fruit and opened up with attractive aromas of cherry, blackberry, black currants, black pepper, smoky and damp forest floor notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied (alcohol comes in at 14.1%), mild acidity, silky tannins with layers of creamy richness. This wines finish is very long and fruit focused with a smooth velvety texture. Another very nice wine from Summers Estate Winery that is true to the style of the house and represented a good value for a rich and juicy Cabernet. Very enjoyable, loved the aromatics, loved the mouthfeel and the finish, enough said, well done. Score 90 points.

Purchased July 21, 2012 LCBO New Release (279380) at $29.95
