Altamura Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Altamura makes one of the best "under the radar" Cabernet Sauvignon's in Napa Valley. If you like the big cult Cabernet's, try this for a fraction of the price. 95 Points Wine Spectator: "Amazingly pure, rich and complex, with tiers of dark berry, blackberry, wild berry, blueberry and boysenberry layered on top of black licorice and dusty, gravelly earth details, all well-centered. The finish sails on, presenting a mocha brownie aftertaste. Drink now through 2028."

Big, chocolate, dark fruits and like most 2012’s, drinking well in its youth.

Again, a fantastically crafted Napa cab. One of the best on a great vintage.

What a nice wine. Dark fruit, blackberry with a very long chocolaty finish. Easy 92+ points

Always one of my favorites. I can’t drink this wine and not think of chocolate. Velvety mouthfeel. Lengthy finish. Wonderful Napa Cab that brings it every time. Stunning wine to match a fantastic 91 mile bike ride.

Do you remember, the 21st night of September? Yes, and I always remember why I love this wine so much. Big stellar Napa Cab. Silky smooth tannins, jammy, chocolate, cherries. Decadent? Yes maybe. Sublime? Absolutely.

Lingers on the palate for AGES. Lots of deep red ripe fruit. Spectacular with short ribs. — 2012
