Pope Valley Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2023

“Nervy aromas of candied raspberry, currant, licorice, and purple flowers swirl on the nose of this Cabernet. The palate features moderate tannic structure and lively acid framing flavors of baked plum, dark chocolate, caramel, and violets across a velvety finish.”

“Of the Pope Valley wines I sampled from 2023, the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the one to go for. Wild mint-infused blackberry fruit is layered with toasty oak, all coming together on the full-bodied palate. Robust tannins support the dark fruit and sweet spice, finishing with lingering notes of mocha and espresso bean.”

“Dark fruited and rustic, with aromas of black currants, blackberries, cedar, dried herbs and earth. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins, balanced acidity and a broad, fruit-driven finish. Drink or hold.”
