95 points One of the best buys of the year in California Cabernet! Limited. 95 Points Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley spends 18 months in a combination of 30% new and 70% used French and American barrels. It is another big boy at 15.4% natural alcohol. This wine is fabulous. One of the strongest efforts yet from the Martinis, this cuvée still sells at a modest $38.00 – a fair price for something this compelling. The wine has an opaque purple color, a beautiful nose of blueberries, blackcurrants, licorice, camphor and graphite. The wine is full-bodied and multilayered on the palate with sensational richness and length. It should drink well for 20-25 years... ...It is hard to believe that the iconic Louis M. Martini Winery first made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon in 1933. Louis Martini is long gone, but he played a significant role in establishing Napa and Sonoma valleys as premium grape-growing regions. His family has carried on and more recently benefitted from the influx of significant investment from the new owners – the Gallos." The Martini family has been crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa and Sonoma's finest vineyards since 1933. Founder Louis M. Martini started with this simple premise: the best grapes make the best wines. Today, this tradition carries on at their historic winery in the Napa Valley with a range of unforgettable Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

Good value Napa Cab. Definitive black fruit flavours with cassis and a vanilla caramel creaminess.

Drank 2016 in Oct 2022 with pasta bolognese from Osteria Morini. Dark fruit with jammy mouth feel. A lot going on at the back of the palate from simple dark fruit sweetness to a touch dark chocolate and roasted coffee notes on the finish.

Mixed reviews among four if us - a bit too bitter (tannins?), while the opposite view is a smooth, even finish. So, what to think? Maybe not as good as anticipated..
