Marston Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Napa 2006 – 95 Points

Posted by thewineinsiders in Wine Reviews on May 10th, 2010 | 0 comments

Decadent layers of espresso beans, mocha, bold tannins and a savory hint of black olive tapenade on the sultry finish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Decant one hour if popping the cork pre-2012 because this BIG boy will easily last until 2019, peaking around 2017 in our estimate. Enjoy this rare opportunity to a own few of these precious hand crafted bottles because less than 300 cases produced.

Aromas of blackberry, currant, anise and vanilla immediately jump from the glass. Opens up to aromas of plum, cedar and soy develop. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, wild berries, boysenberry, black olive and raspberry are framed by polished tannin. The finish is smooth and lush with a structure that should ensure a long life.

Noemi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2007

Posted by thewineinsiders in Wine Reviews on Mar 17th, 2010 | 0 comments

This brand new Cabernet features a silky smooth texture with a wide array of deep, dark, and complex fruit including blackberry, plum, toffee and a hint of sweet tobacco flavors balanced by ultra-plush tannins typical of Napa Valley’s finest Cabernets. The structure and balance of this wine is seamless with a velvety texture reminiscent of my favorite age-worthy wines. The smoky oak on the finish is so elegant it seems to float across your palate and then linger seductively for a full minute and bodes well for enjoying now or anytime prior to 2012. If you’re a fan of CAYMUS, don’t miss this new wine discovery!

The 2006 Revana features rich, sultry dark flavors including sweet plums, creme de cassis, black cherry, and a hint of smoky cedar on the bold finish.
