Heir Apparent Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of cherries, blueberries, plums, currents, lights tobacco, light cedar, licorice, metals, black pepper and spices.
Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, currants, oak, light vanilla, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, cola, dark chocolates, peppercorn and green vegetables.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 6-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and smooth.
Fruit forward with earth notes that compliment the fruits. Feels very much like a Left Bank Bordeaux, with a touch of New World.
Powerful, yet elegant. Nicely balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
A nice sipping wine, and good with food too.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$80.

Are there any good values left in Napa? I admittedly don’t know every winery but $80 for a high ABV Napa fruit/ oak bomb scoring 91pts seems pretty meh. Just me?
