Bright Angel, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Oct 27, 2016

By Rich Cook

Bright Angel is a project of Pat and Robbin Pipp, focused on bringing Napa Valley quality to consumers in the Midwest.  I know some Cubs fans who won’t mind celebrating with this quality offering, which shows forward ripe blackberry, cassis, pie spice, vanilla and a hint of leaf on the nose, and all elements are translated well on the palate, with bright acidity carrying it all together through the long, spicy finish.  It makes a great solo drinker, or try it with moderate to strong cheeses.  Contains 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.
