Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
One of the best buys of the year in California Cabernet! Limited. 92+ Points Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Malbec, aged in 30% new French and American oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up bold notions of cassis, black cherries and spice box with hints of cedar and fragrant earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with loads of muscular fruit accented by a notable but not overwhelming oaky presence, going to a long, layered finish." ...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.

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, espresso and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, strawberry and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral notes.

Very very dark black with Garnet hints of color. That tight black cherry and slightly under ripe black plums. After a couple hours it was very smooth but had a lot of grit, slightly out of balance but not a disappointment.

Louis Martini 2017 cabernet sauvignon. Napa Valley. Nice dark fruit on the beginning. Minimal tartness on the finish. Not very complex. Still very young I feel.
