Conway Family Wines Deep Sea Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Consider this a Negociant wine since, according to the wine producer, it is sourced from a
"number of the finest, well regarded vineyards within Napa AVA’s of
Rutherford, Atlas Peak and Pritchard Hill, with each one contributing
their unique characteristics to our blend".
According to the producer's release, "the dark fruit notes along with distinctive and pleasant chalky sagebrush notes greet your nose at first. This Cabernet has as plush an entry as we’ve seen in a lot of years. A round, soft, mouth filling wine that shows a smooth backbone of tannins and balanced acidity. The finish wraps up nicely with a lingering reminder of the mature dark fruits, ever so slight a hint of new oak, and the ever present palette of flavors that make Cabernet so sought after!"
This has incredible QPR - quality price ratio, at its price point below $20. The wine producer lists it at $39.
Opened for casual wine sipping with cheese but its sophisticated enough to be worthy as a perfect compliment to grilled steak dinner. I left half the bottle and it was much better two days later when I took it to Erin and Johnny's for steak dinner.
Dark garnet colored, medium to full bodied, full fruit forward black raspberry and cherry fruits with a layer of spice and hints of graphite and tea, turning to tones of mocha with nice balance and smooth polished tannin finish.
RM 90 points.
