2023 Tether Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

WP94 The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon includes 9% Malbec in the blend and spent 19 months in French oak barrels, 75% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it races out with vibrant notes of fresh blackberries and black currants, leading to hints of raspberries, menthol, and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate delivers a suggestion of toasty oak to complement the bright black and red berry flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing on a persistent minty note.

JD93 Based on 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Malbec, aged in 100% French oak (75% new), the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers darker currants, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and hints of spice in a deeper purple-hued, medium to full-bodied package. It’s concentrated, has a layered mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish. With roughly 1,250 cases produced, this is another brilliant wine that can be enjoyed any time over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035.
