2019 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has following scores - Jeb Dunnuck 97, The Wine Advocate 96. 2019 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has the score of 96+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 2019 Red Blend Viader is composed of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it soars from the glass with evocative crème de cassis, candied violets, chocolate box and fragrant earth scents, plus redcurrant jelly and mulberries with a waft of unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, the fruit is wonderfully crunchy, bright and energetic, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and finishing with great length.
2020 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has following scores - The Wine Independent 94, James Suckling 93. 2020 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has the score of 94+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -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.
2021 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has following scores - The Wine Advocate 96, The Wine Independent 96. 2021 Viader Vineyards Cabernet Blend Napa Valley has the score of 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Cabernet Franc, Viader's 2021 Red Wine features delicate violet-like nuances on the nose, backed by blueberries and cassis, black tea and tobacco, vanilla and cedar. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's streamlined in shape, graceful and elegant yet concentrated and structured, with a fine dusting of soft tannins punctuating the lingering finish.
