Napanook 2016 Napa Valley Yountville
James Suckling im Mai 2018: This is a flamboyant red that offers hazelnuts. dark berries and a hint of chocolate. Full-bodied with round and soft tannins. So fresh. So rich. enticing and layered. A blend of 84 per cent cabernet sauvignon. nine per cent petit verdot and seven per cent cabernet franc. Delicious now. Drink or hold. April 2019 release.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im Oktober 2017: Very deep purple-black in color. the 2016 Napanook Proprietary Red Wine is composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon. 9% Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Franc aged in 20% new oak. A beautiful perfume of violets. aniseed. truffles and lavender is just starting to emerge over a core of warm cassis. blackberry preserves and ripe plum plus hints of cedar chest. chocolate box. rare beef and cardamom. The palate is medium to full-bodied and firmly textured with very ripe tannins. gradually revealing layers of black and blue fruits plus loads of earthy sparks. finishing with amazing freshness and depth. 3.500 cases produced.
