Edge Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Wine Enthusiast: Rated as Excellent, extremely well made and highly recommended. "A tremendous value. Hard to believe it's so good, considering the price. The details of it's origins and winemaker are mysterious, but it's worth a special search. Rich and dry, it's packed with classic blackberry, black currant, blueberry and cedar flavors, wrapped into firm, smooth tannins. Drink now through 2016." Feb 2012
Winery: "This supple and lush wine immediately opens to flavors of blackberry, clove and hints of vanilla. The medium bodied palate is balanced with flavors of eucalyptus, sweet plums, ripe cherry and hints of tobacco, while the finish is accentuated by nice acidity and subtle oak flavors. Drinkability: Now to 2016." Wired For Wine: There is nothing like a rich, classic, beautifully balanced Cabernet from Napa... This one's described as a "tremendous value" and "hard to believe it's so good, considering the price". Where do we sign??This Edge Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has been lovingly crafted and tended by Ray Signorello Jr. of Signorello Vineyards, delivering an end result which is rich, lush and supple. It is an impressive addition to the cellar for an upcoming special occasion, or a delicious choice for right now. For the "now" crowd, we highly recommend savoring your first glass with decadent zucchini bacon fritters and a basil-mayo dipping sauce. The firm, smooth tannins, dark fruit, spice and fine oak, in addition to some nice acidity add up to a great choice with hearty meats. Bring out this Napa Cab's alluring spice and lovely tannins with grilled lamb racks rubbed with cumin and cinnamon. If you're in the mood for a classic choice with this killer Edge, make it grilled New York strips topped with a generous dollop of blue cheese butter. If you're doing the spectacular-wine-with-casual-meal thing, the fruit will shine brightly with steak sandwiches made with tomato pesto and arugala. Open another bottle and end the meal with a French Tome de Couserans cheese. Its buttery earthiness will be perfect with the cedar and tobacco of this California Cab. Forget about keeping your Edge, you'll want to drink this one!
