2014 Post Parade Cabernet Sauvignon Stretch Drive
Tasting Note:May 21, 2017
Dark and deep ruby red. Layered nose with tons of oak influence with notes of sweet spices, cinnamon, dark cocoa, dark red fruits, and black currants. Medium tannins (6/10) and full bodied. Rich and powerful with rich spices, dark red berries and quite approachable. Long and lingering finish. A bit of heat throughout but dissipated on day two.
Post Parade released their inaugural vintage in 2010 under the reins of Thomas Rivers Brown, but this is the inaugural vintage for the Stretch Drive Cabernet Sauvignon. This bottling 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.
