Year after year the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Ramey is an outstanding wine and the 2012 is no exception. As this wine slowly opens it delivers gorgeous aromas of black cherries, sweet cassis, dried herbs, spices, chocolate and even some violets make an appearance after just a bit of air contact. The wine shows excellent balance, with a wonderful round, velvety texture ending with a persistent finish, which folds in another layer of dark fruits, dried herbs and rich chocolate flavors. This can be approached upon release, however it should be at it’s best with just some short term cellaring. (Best 2015-2025) - October, 2014 (JD)
