Waterstone, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Dec 17, 2014

By Rich Cook

There isn’t a lot of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon available at this price, and the few that are don’t generally match this one in terms of quality.  Blackberry, currants, medium oak toast and touches of pepper and dust ride on top of bright acidity and moderate grip through a medium long finish that pleases without breaking the bank.  Easy drinking, nicely done!  Contains 18% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Syrah, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec.
