Sabina Vineyards
The dark color and robust aromas of black currant, briary dark fruits and tar are indicative of the great Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards of Napa Valley, some of the nest in the world. Th e superbly delineated palate structure that is simultaneously seamless and bold bears testament to the tremendous potential of this young vineyard. Seldom have I tasted such an age-worthy wine from so young a vineyard. The flavors evolve as the wine is savored during a meal. Blackberry, cassis and cherry are supported by a fine beam of tannin that hints of graphite, tar and blueberry. Flavors from a deliciously ripe black cherry linger on the palate long a er the wine is enjoyed.
Wine Enthusiast
To call this a big Cab would be an understatement. It’s a black-colored, saturated wine that detonates on the palate, offering a blast of black and red berries, currants, cassis, dark unsweetened chocolate, anise and fine, upscale new oak. But the tannins are fierce. Very fine, among the best St. Helena Cabernets of the vintage. Needs time. 2012–2020. Score: 95 - Steve Heimoff, March 01, 2010.
