2014 Post Parade Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep purplish ruby red. Tons of layers and complexity on the nose with notes of blackberries, cassis, black currants, spices, violets, cinnamon and a touch of dark cocoa. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) with solid structure and full bodied. Earthy texture on the palate and the layers of cinnamon, dark fruits, spices and cassis. Very dry and long finish.
Post Parade released their inaugural vintage in 2010 under the reins of Thomas Rivers Brown. The 2014 vintage is made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tench Vineyard in Oakville and the Red Head Vineyard on the south east side of Napa Valley. Only 430 cases produced and aged for around 20 months in 90% new French oak (Ermitage and Taransaud).
2017 till 2030.
Price Point:
$$$ - Purchased from the Great Falls Wine Outlet for $89.03, release price from the estate is $270.00 for a three pack or $90.00 a bottle.Just tried their Stretch Drive earlier this week. Easily to see why this is their flagship bottling.

Very rich and extracted with tons of complexity. Layers of dark cocoa, vanilla, blackberries, blueberries, and dark gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drinking very well right now with around an hour or two decant.
