Cabernet Sauvignon
CA - Napa Valley - Oakville
The She that started CRU9 wine, the 9th Child from Iowa, celebrates her roots with this muscular cabernet. Penetrating smells and flavors, long finish. Sweet tobacco, ripe red currant, dark chocolate, brown spices, bing cherry, wet stone.
“CRU9 9th Power Cabernet 2016 has a medium purple color and offers a beautifully penetrating nose of cherry cola, vanilla cream, fresh tobacco leaf, wet stone and hints of cinnamon. An incredibly balanced palate that is concentrated without being cloying, focused with a slight tension along with a broad shouldered structure and linear style. Flavors of Bing cherry, red currant, pipe tobacco combine beautifully with slightly dusty tannins and a finish that lingers for over a minute. Drink now through 2029.” 96 Points, Master Sommelier Kevin M. Vogt
