2015 Witchery Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Oakville, Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America
Third of the blind Witchery Wines we are reviewing today.
Deep and dark ruby red. Lots of regular and sweet spices on the nose as well as some dark floral notes, blackberries and a touch savory. Heavy woody tannins (7/10) and medium plus bodied. Layered palate with dark cherries, dark spices and some gravel. With some more time it added some more black cherries, cocoa, became more rounded and very approachable. Very dry and long finish. Will do well for 8 or so years.
Made by Grant Long Jr. of Aonair Wines. If similar to the 2014 bottling, this is aged for 23 months in 100% new French oak. Blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. Only 200 cases produced (8 barrels) and 14.8% alcohol.
2017 till 2025.
