Waypoint Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

I couldn’t find anything about this wine.  Their website is nonexistent, and there is even a totally different Waypoint line from Napa now on the market.  Too bad, because this wine was really good.  Pick up a few bottles if you stumble across them.

Waypoint Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

This Cabernet is the correct dark red color, with just a tinge of brick; it is seven years old, after all.  The nose opens with dark, rich fruit.  On the palate, there is a full mouthfeel, with flavors of blackberry, baked plum, dark cocoa, and tart red currant.  The well-structured tannins, oak backbone, and just-so acidity offer great balance, making for a really appealing glass of Cabernet.  ABV is a robust 15.4%.
