2014 Gamble Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

Product Info

TASTING NOTE:

Blackberry toast and dark, sultry pencil shavings are nuanced in additional flavors of clove in this thick, densely built wine that presents as full bodied but finds its balance in the glass. A richness of chocolate and graham cracker rule the finish.

-Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts

Currant, blackberry and fresh herb aromas follow through to a medium body, lightly chewy tannins and a chocolate and currant aftertaste. Give it a year or two to come together but already delicious.

-James Suckling, 91 pts

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley opens with cassis, espresso, earth and Marmite toast with hints of licorice and salami. The medium to full-bodied mouth is fairly simple but well done, open-knit with good expression and soft tannins.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:

At Gamble Family Vineyards, we strive to make truly memorable wines which are delicious and well balanced; wines which are made to be enjoyed over several hours with good food, good friends, and those you love.

The 2014 vintage unveils alluring aromas of bright cherry, blackberry, and ripe fig, with warm notes of molasses, toasted almonds, brown sugar and a hint of cedar and tobacco. A beautiful balance between juicy, ripe blue and back fruit and complex layers of black currant, caramel, ground coffee beans, clove spice, and dusty clay. Medium to full-bodied wine with the structure to age 5-8 years and lush tannins to enjoy now.
