Joseph Carr, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Jan 16, 2024

By Roger Morris

 One troubling aspect of reviewing wines is to sample one that you suspect other mature drinkers will like considerably more than you do, especially if the reviewer’s stumbling block is the wine’s structure.  Simply put, this full-bodied red is a little too sharp in the finish for my tastes, but I suspect others might think differently.  It’s mainly a “red fruit” Cabernet, somewhat chewy in texture, thought not heavy, with lots of mellow tannins and considerable apparent acidity at the end.
