Patent Wines Cabernet Sauvignon (2020)

After almost 2 years in barrel, this wine has a rich garnet color, and classic Cabernet aromas with
leather, cocoa, cherry and spice. With touches of chestnut and nutmeg, it comes off clean. Consistent with flavors that continue the aromatics, with ample tannin and body to age beyond the next decade, but delightful now with anything barbequed and rich after decanting to add oxygen to allow it to open up. An authentic hand produced, fruit driven Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Reviews

92 Wine Spectator
Offers up a ripe burst of mulberry and loganberry fruit flavors that drive through nicely, laced with licorice snap and violet notes along the way. A subtle bramble edge adds energy on the finish. Drink now through 2030.

92 Wine Enthusiast
Generous aromas of mint, cardamom and ginger light up this full-bodied, moderately tannic wine from the first whiff. Espresso, blackberry, and toasted oak flavors dominate the palate giving a definite spicy character to this wine.

90 Jeb Dunnuck
Bright blue fruits, graphite, and some sweet spice notes emerge from the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, a full-bodied, opulent, pleasure bomb of a wine best drunk over the coming 4-6 years (2023 - 2029).
