2020 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Independent 94 points, James Suckling 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2020 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley from Robert Parker - Viader's 2020 Red Wine is a 60-40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which at a glance appears to be approximately the historical average. Fermented in a mix of stainless steel, concrete and 500-liter oak barrels, with an average time on skins of more than 50 days, it's a dark, extracted, full-bodied wine, firmly tannic and seemingly built for the cellar. Scents of black cherries and cassis lead the way, joined by accents of resinous herbs, a touch of cedar (it was aged in 65% new French oak), hints of dark chocolate, allspice and loamy earth. It's a strong effort, marked by a final touch of coarseness to the texture that isn't present in truly great vintages, but some of that should be smoothed over in time.
