Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

  

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

2015 Vintage

92 Points Antonio Galloni

"The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon III Michaels Estate is a dark, sensual wine with all of the creaminess and texture that is such a signature of Cabernets from Oakville. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate build as this voluptuous Cabernet shows off its personality. The 2015 packs a serious punch. Drink it over the next decade or so."

  

2015 Vintage

90 Points Antonio Galloni

"Emerson Brown's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is plump, juicy and supple, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice and new leather are all pushed forward in this racy, fruity, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon."

"Cut from the same cloth (although this cuvee saw 60% new barrels), the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is bigger and richer, with slightly more oak, charcoal, chocolate and licorice aromas and flavors. It's a big, rich, unctuous beauty that packs serious fruit and texture, yet holds everything together and is beautifully balanced, savory, and classically styled on the finish. It too has 15+ years of longevity ahead of it."

"The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from multiple sites in the Valley and was brought up in 40% new French oak. It offers a seriously ripe, hedonistic style to go with classic currant, licorice, toasty oak and chocolate aromas and flavors. This beauty fills the mouth with fruit, has no hard edges, sweet tannin and carries its fruit and richness with class. It should keep for 10-15 years, and at 50 bucks, is smokin' good."

2014 Vintage

95 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
 
"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville offers notes of graphite, charcoal embers, wood smoke and blackcurrants galore. It is full-bodied, pure and dense with a skyscraper-like texture, low acidity and silky, sweet tannin. Drink it over the next 25 years."

 

2014 Vintage

94 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
 
"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa has loads of chocolate, blackberry, espresso and new oak notes, gorgeous full-bodied texture, beautiful purity and length. This is a terrific full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon that has the silky tannins of the vintage and enormous fruit extract. Drink it over the next 15-20 years."

 

2013 Vintage

96 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
"Even better is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville. The smaller cuvée (14.7% alcohol) was aged in a combination of 50% new French oak. This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon offers loads of minerality as well as notes of white flowers, blueberry and blackberry fruit, and pen ink. Full-bodied, stunningly proportioned and purely textured, with a multi-layered mouthfeel, this is a super-duper wine, and at $75, a killer value by high-end Napa Cabernet standards. Drink it over the next 15 or so years."

 

  

2013 Vintage

94 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (14.5% alcohol), comes primarily from valley floor and foothill vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford and Calistoga. Impressively well-made, with sweet blackcurrant fruit intermixed with licorice, loamy soil undertones and a touch of new oak, the wine is full-bodied, fleshy, succulent, and well-built. This wine from Emerson & Brown, assistants of Philippe Melka, is a great value by Napa Cabernet Sauvignon standards and should drink nicely for 10-15 years.”
