2016 Egelhoff Cabernet
2016 Egelhoff Cabernet This wine is opulent, fleshy, and very sexy, but in spite of its accessibility, it will age brilliantly for 15-20 years. Gorgeous opulent fruit showing currants, fig, blackberries and plum, aged 24 months in new French oak. Tannins are sweet and completely integrated, absolute velvet in the mouth. I loved this wine. Absolutely killer Napa Cabernet.
Bob Egelhoff is one of the greatest Winemakers in Napa. The list of Wineries he has made wine for is spectacular. He has made wines for Beckstoffer Vineyards, Robert Craig and Merryvale. Today he consults for Pahlmeyer, David Arthur and Axios, some of the finest names in Napa. Today however his main focus and passion today are his own wines and today I am proud to be able to offer his top wine and one of the finest 2016’s I have tasted the 2016 Egelhoff Cabernet. We all know how great 2016 is as a Napa Cabernet vintage, receiving 98pts by Parker’s WA, the highest they have ever rated a Napa vintage and 98pts by the Wine Spectator. I personally find the 2016’s to be absolutely delicious with huge potential to age. The 2016 Egelhoff is a great example of this. Hugely rich, killer fruit, cashmere in the mouth and silky as sin on the back end. His wines have massive demand, all sold by list and as good as it gets. He sources this great Cab from the northern portion of 40 acre vineyard situated between two ridges on the flanks of the Howell Mountain in the upper portion of Conn Valley. This is hard core Napa Cab country. I have secured the last 10 cases to offer of this spectacular wine. Truly exceptional, again one of the finest 2016 to be had. Enjoy!
