Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
One of the best buys of the year in California Cabernet! Limited. 92+ Points Robert Parker: "The Louis Martini 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, soft spice and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, blueberry and ripe black cherry with notes of cacao, vanilla and dried herbs. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, espresso and earthy mineral notes.

Drinking nicely, showing dark berries, cassis, black licorice, tobacco, spice, cedar, and cocoa. Full bodied, dusty tannins, long finish! Cannot decide between 9.1 or 9.2.

Deep, dark fruits and never disappoints. Also, note if in Napa at the Martini winery that the picnic tables there are very comfortable to sleep under or over depending on how much you have tasted and how strong the sun is.

Strong and lovely black currants on the nose, just so lovely. On the pallet, multi layers of oak, dark skin fruits and tobacco. So complex yet very approachable. Well worth the price. Deep ruby color with long lasting legs.
