Review:

I really enjoyed the 2015 version of this from ye ol’ grocery store but this time we ventured to a pub and got 'em to bring us the whole bottle. Why the whole bottle? Because it's a cry for help and you're all just laughing.

This is from Sequoia Grove which is on my list of places to visit in Napa - in between the strip clubs and casinos of course. As with so many cabs in Calee-for-nee this is a majority cab blend because 100% cabs can go extremely sweet/jammy on you real quick if you're not careful. I'm cereal.

In da nose I got a very strong scent of soil from the Himalayas along with some blackberry jam that was extra thick 'n jammy, mang. In da mouf I got red apple, black cherry and a pleasant oak on the finish.

2014 was a great year for Napa and this is an excellent example of its production. I think I prefer the 2015 a tad more but you absolutely can't go wrong with this. I mean if you blend it with anchovies or something then that's wrong but I haven't seen anyone do that since the great winechovie blend of 07.
