My first $100 bottle of wine. And I was impressed. The Barnett Vineyard 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon was my first real experience of a Napa Valley Red and I’m hooked.
What I liked was how balanced it tasted with fruit forward flavors and a perfect dryness that reminds me of some good sake.
I’ll reserve these special experiences for worthy celebrations and this was a New Year’s treat to ring in 2023.
In hindsight, this was a wine that you’re supposed to wait and enjoy a decade later. It was still delicious, but as I learn more about wines, I’ll start rotating and leaving these special bottles for future occasions.
