Supple, complete, stylish.
Martini's Napa Cabernet is a distinctly complete wine -- consistently.
Cassis, mocha, black plus, pencil shavings and lilac aromas are delivered from glass to nose. The palate is supple, with generous fruit, chocolaty-rich mocha, spice and cigar notes. It is slick, fresh, smooth and stylish with a very persistent finish.
Bravo, as always.

Second review, June 17:
Liqueur like in its aromatic profile, this indelible Cabernet offers aromas of plumcake, brown spice, vanilla, cedar chips and lilacs, opulent mocha and licorice. The palate follows suit; succulent, almost jammy with a glycerol weight and deliberate structure and excellent persistence.
So consistent and so delicious.

Classic, divine, succulent.
I cannot say enough about this Sonoma Cabernet, it is wonderfully consistent at showing classic Cabernet character. It lands on my annual TOP 100 list every year.
It dispenses divine aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, mocha, tealeaf, mixed spies, char-grill and juicy red plums. Generous and sweet red and black fruit flavours are layered with cocoa, espresso liqueur an fine spice. It has great bones and bright acidity with a long smooth finish.
Pair: grilled meats, lamb or earthy dishes with lentils or potatoes with wild mushrooms.

Excellent value in a serious California Cabernet.
Expect aromas of black currents, roasted mocha, toasted spice, pipe tobacco, molasses, leather and cocoa. The palate is supple with generous dark fruit layered with vanilla, cocoa, spice and sweet tobacco. Classic styling, fantastic balance and freshness.
Pair with grilled meats, lamb or earthy dishes with lentils or potatoes with wild mushrooms.

Classic, serious, character.
A Sonoma Cabernet showing classic character.
Notes of black currents are melded with pencil shavings, tobacco, cocoa, and roasted herbs. It is earthy on the palate, great balance with flavours of licorice, wild berries and currents with tealeaf.
Pair: grilled meats, lamb or earthy dishes with lentils or potatoes with wild mushrooms.
