About Louis Martini 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Magnum 1.5L
Magnum 1.5L
Louis Martini is a historic winery. Dating back to the early 20th century it was one of the first Napa Valley wineries to produce quality wines after Prohibition ended. This Cab from the outstanding 2016 vintage was sourced from their premium Napa Valley vineyards, including William Hill, Sun Lake, Cypress Ranch, Sage Canyon and other select growers. The wine saw 15 to 20 days of maceration time and was pumped over two to three times daily. It was aged 16 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (40% new).
Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 94 points saying "This is a powerhouse wine, surprisingly soft and supple on the palate, with firm, integrated tannins and hearty oak. Cedar, pencil shavings and sweet tobacco provide savory complexity on the midpalate, accenting a core of concentrated red currant and plum. The finish is a mix of black pepper and dark chocolate."
James Suckling scored this 93 points saying "A silky and harmonious cabernet with currants, light chocolate and spice. Medium to full body, lightly round tannins and a flavorful finish. Real Napa cabernet at a good price."
The Wine Advocate scored this 92 points saying "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Malbec, aged in 30% new French and American oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up bold notions of cassis, black cherries and spice box with hints of cedar and fragrant earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with loads of muscular fruit accented by a notable but not overwhelming oaky presence, going to a long, layered finish."
