- 2015 EMH Cabernet Sauvignon Lady Sapphire - USA, California, Napa Valley (10/27/2025)
Opened for Black Cat day (of course!) this was singing from first pour. Ripe yet measured black fruit, tannins in balance, and just a subtle touch of vanilla and spice. As I was drinking it I kept thinking “this is a really good bottle of wine” which is exactly what it should be. Lovely now, with plenty of juice left in the tank for years.
