Description

"The 2009 Napanook is simply glorious. Sweet dark cherries, mint, tobacco, wild flowers and licorice all jump from the glass. The 2009 is a juicy, extroverted Napanook that impresses for its sheer pleasure and total harmony. Layers of fruit continue to build to the huge, creamy finish. As good as the 2009 is today, I have a hard time thinking it won't be better in another few years. If anything, this is too serious a wine for an entry-level offering. The 2009 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024". 93 points. Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate.

    Firstly if the words of his 'Bobness' are your thing then the Parker review that Majestic use in this wines description is from the 2006 vintage, not the 2008 (which incidentally he scores higher at 93 points and calls 'one of the greatest Napanooks made'). This is a very well crafted Napa Valley Cab, at a very un-Napa-like price. Ruby red in the glass, with a fruity nose. The wine is smooth and supple, with soft tannins and a long finish. Delicious stuff.
