Barrett & Barrett Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2015
Monumentally graceful with soaring dark fruit and ultra-bold tannins. We sampled this awe-inspiring new release yesterday and understand why Cabernet connoisseurs are proclaiming this to be Napa’s own First Growth wine, imminently age-worthy for 10 – 20+ years. Flavors and aromas of plum, currant, sage, blackberry, mineral, white flowers, graphite, tobacco and dark chocolate abound. Lots of vivacity and complexity, it delivers awe-inspiring intensity of dark fruits including sensational notes of cassis, leather and baking spices that all linger seamlessly on the majestic finish. A breathtaking beauty for your cellar. With time to evolve it will merit a 99+ (or even a Perfect 100) point rating.
