The much-talked-about gem that made Mr. Akashiya Sanma fall in love with it!
The only sake that was ranked in the "Top 10 Best Things to Buy This Year" by Mr. Akashiya Sanma in the popular TV program "Hondakka! TV", this "Napa Highlands Cabernet Sauvignon" was the only alcoholic beverage that was ranked in the "Top 10 Best Things to Buy This Year" by Mr. Akashiya Sanma.
Since then, it disappeared from the market in an instant and became a topic of conversation as a phantom wine.
Although the supply has now stabilized, the quality of this wine has not diminished, and it remains one of the most popular wines in the world today.
This wine is a blend of grapes from the vineyard near the famous Dominus Estate, which is the best parcel of land bordering the southern tip of the famous Oakville vineyard, the vineyard across the road south of Opus One, and the parcel bordering the south Oakville vineyard in Rutherford.
This blend leads to a balance that is not only rich and opulent, but also nicely acidic.
The 2019 vintage received plenty of rainfall in the winter, which allowed the vines to gain ample energy. A mild spring and summer, with a few hot days, helped to advance the color development.
The Napa Valley's characteristic morning fog brought cooler temperatures, and ample daytime sunshine promoted ripening and a long vegetative period.
Benefiting from an excellent vintage, the grapes were harvested with lush fruit, firm, dark skins that produced concentrated tannins and depth, and beautiful acidity.
The wine is a good example of typical classic Napa Valley characteristics, packed with Cabernet Sauvignon's characteristic rich fruit, powerful tannins, black berry, black cherry, and cocoa elements, with pleasant vanilla notes from the oak, clove and other spices, and forest nuances.
It is a wine that goes well with meals, and pairs well with steak, braised beef ribs, char-grilled meats in general, and roast duck in a sweet sauce.
