Oakville Winery DDR 2022, Napa Valley, California 

Dark ruby in color with medium plus intensity and a wide reddish rim. 

Fruity nose with red and blue fruits, light wood, coffee, oregano, dark chocolates, earth and light spices. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice and light black pepper. 

Medium length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. 

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced and complex. Rich and fruit forward. Delicate and engaging. 
 
Elegant and easy drinking right out of the bottle, and much better after 2 hours in the decanter. Showing a very pretty nose once it opens up. 

This Single Vineyard Red Blend will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. I had the 2021 vintage a year ago and it is very consistent. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. 

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. 

14.1% alcohol by volume. 

91 points. 

$50.

Amavi Cellars Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Washington State 

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. 

Strong nose of black fruits with light cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, cola, herbs and spices. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, black plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, coffee, herbs, dark chocolates, black tea, peppercorn and cola. 

Long finish with no tannins and tangy cherries. 

This is a delicious 10-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Complex and nicely balanced.

Good right out of the bottle and didn't evolve much with air, even after after 2 hours. 

Wine Enthusiasts 90 points. 

I had this vintage 7 years ago, and it is so much better now. Probably a little past its peak, but delicious nonetheless. A little flat at this point, but very tasty. I love these Cabernet based Bordeaux blends. 

Easy drinking and a great sipping wine. 

A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in (28% new) French Oak barrels. 

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Bodega Catena Zapata Angelica Zapata Cabernet Franc 2021, Mendoza, Argentina 

Deep purple in color with a reddish rim. 

Nose of blueberries, black currants, cooked plums, light oak, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs, bell peppers, earth, tobacco leaf and black tea. 

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

Dry on the palate with plums, currants, light oak, vegetables, chocolates, tobacco, bell pepper, herbs and peppercorn.

Needs 5 years in the bottle to mature, but already drinking nicely.  Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Complex and interesting enough to drink by itself. A good food wine too, that will pair nicely with lamb dishes.

7 of the Best Malbecs from France’s Cahors Before there was Malbec from Argentina, there was Cahors. Never heard of it? Cahors is the OG of Malbec, the region in southwest France where the variety originated in the Middle Ages and is still grown. For a different take on the grape from Argentina’s ubiquitous Malbecs, the wines of Cahors are well worth trying. While Malbecs from Argentina are concentrated and fruit-driven thanks to the sunny climate and near-perfect growing conditions, wines from Cahors tend to have a good deal of mineral complexity and are more austere, qualities that I find intriguing. The article 7 of the Best Malbecs from France’s Cahors appeared first on VinePair.
