St. Supery – Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 – Napa Valley, California
Cost: $64/Bottle off the menu at Johnnie’s HideAway in Kissimmee, Florida (Retails for about $30 to $35/bottle)
Recommended by the waiter, this is my first taste of this winery, and I must say it was superb. This dark plum red colored wine is medium bodied with a smoky oak, burnt firewood nose that eventually reveals black currants, anise spice, blackberries, and vanilla extract. Dry but balanced keeps this wine open and tasty with a moderate finish. Lingering flavors along with the rather fruity nose and subtle hints of oak and anise are refreshing. Worth looking for when I get back home.
