Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2016
Napa Valley, California, United StatesA highly instructive tasting when you compare the savoury, fresher, Sonoma cabernet against this full-bodied Napa cabernet and all its rich blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry fruit that bursts across the palate. The palate is awash in soft, rich, deep, layered Napa fruit flecked with coffee, black olives, milk chocolate and spice. You can taste the attraction to this style right from the start, and all the way through the finish. Ripe, soft, round, full on the palate with light tannins. Excellent fruit with some finesse in a very consumer-friendly style.Tasted: 25 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
