Problem is that the region keeps producing excellent cabernet wines … as this Shadrach cabernet shows. You need a subscription to [...]

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 50 year-old vines. 13.0% A/V 15 months in new Nevers oak.

Mostly brick-red surrounding a solid, deepish medium-ruby core. Stunning, seamless aromatics of ripe blackcurrant, autumn leaves, leafy [...]

When I wrote about cabernet sauvignon wines from Napa Valley and Sonoma County last week, I omitted one because I thought it deserved mention by itself. The first vintage from this new winery, the Phifer Pavitt “Date Night” 2005, Napa Valley, made from cabernet sauvignon grapes with a touch of petit verdot, is a [...]

My beloved picked this up at the store and when I read the label--an Argentinian Cabernet--I was scratching my head. Argentina is MALBEC not Cabernet Sauvignon. Well....................... It has a nice black cherry color with bright lively fruit and a solid Cabernet nose of spicy ripe black cherry with slight perfumy rear with a sweet fragrance. In the mouth it is down right varietal with a popular...
