Fifth vintage of this very special Napa Cabernet we’ve carried and we’ve yet to be disappointed. This is huge…black currants, dark chocolate malt, mocha, sweet earth, blackberry & mulberry, layers of flavors, lavish oak, juicy and delicious now, in its youth.

Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 750ml
Rated 86. Ripe black currant and elderberry promised on the nose are juicy yet not at all superficially sweet in their palate presence. Blond tobacco, hemp, moss, and toasted nuts add complexity to this polished, mouth-filling Cabernet, and unlike last years rendition which evinced a hint of finishing heat, I could detect none (despite 14.5% alcohol) in the exuberantly, vividly fruity finish of this 2007. -Robert Parker.

Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon is dark plum red in color with a nose of black currant, plum, earth and spice. Medium-full in body, it is dry with moderate acidity and soft, ripe tannins. It offers rich, intense flavors of plums, black currant and toasty oak. Well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 5-6 years, it has a long and smooth finish.

From a hillside vineyard east of the Valley floor. This is the kinda Cab we like to drink at BRW. It marries rich Napa ripeness with Bordeaux-like tobacco, cocoa and earthy spice.

Yes, that’s a REAL Mercury Head dime on the bottle. Fruit’s from “Morisoli” and “Lewelling” vineyards in Rutherford & St. Helena. Forward, rich, precocious nose of vanilla malt, cocoa, blackberries and currants. The mouth is lush, rich, approachable, quite silky and ready to enjoy tonight.

Under $20 Napa Cab is easy enough to find, but GOOD under $20 Cab is tough. This is GOOD. Nose of red & black cherries, cedar and tobacco. Forward fruit with mouth-watering acidity, sweet oak, peppercorn spice and firm tannins. Nicely ripe, not jammy. Good dinner companion.

The winery states their '06 Cakebread Cab "bursts from the glass with fresh, smoky, cassis, blackberry and boysenberry aromas augmented by subtle cedar, black tea spice and sweet oak scents. Supple on entry, the wine’s big, extracted, black fruit flavors coat the palate, while its firm underlying structure transports the rich fruit and zesty black tea spiciness into a long, savory finish.
