Lail Vineyards J Daniel Cuvee Napa Valley 2002
Robin Daniel Lail of Lail Vineyards is a great grandniece of Gustave Niebaum, a founder of the Inglenook Vineyards in Napa.
After the closure during Prohibition Inglenook was improved by Niebaum's great-nephew John Daniel Jr. and their wine was highly appraised.
Inglenook had changed hands since and is now owned by Francis Ford Coppola.
Robin Daniel Lail, with the famous vineyard Napanook which she inherited from her father John Daniel Jr, produced wine with Christian Moueix at Dominus Estate. The partnership was later resolved and Robin Daniel Lail started Lail Vineyards with her family.
This wine is made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pronounced aromas of cooked red berry and cherry, cassis, dried rose, green tea, vanilla, coffee candy, rich black diamond (compost).
Sweet and bitter coffee beans in after taste.
Tannin is very soft.
It's opulent but not typical big Napa Cab.
This wine shows more tender side of Cabernet Sauvignon.
We had this with T-bone steak. Good pairing.
