Neal Family Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2016

Producer notes: “100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Young, juicy, and sits with its bright crimson color. Characteristics of Maraschino cherries, Red Delicious apple, a hint of savoriness, and strong tannins makes this a powerful one. Another bottle was double decanted 2 hours prior for comparison that unfolded its true colors. The red fruit quality evolved into black currant, plum, and baked cranberry with allspice. The hint of savoriness matured into smoked meats, thyme, and black pepper. The tannins softened immensely and made this wine even more enjoyable and sound. Even a day after, it is still incredibly impressive. Barrel aged 24 months in 67% new French oak. Alcohol 14.2%.”
