Addendum Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Review
From 1954 to 1979, Fess Parker was America’s pioneer man on TV, playing Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone respectively. He ended up going an hour or so north of Los Angeles and establishing his winery, showing off rhone-style wines. Today, the winery has expanded into other projects, connecting with other regions and vineyards. Addendum is one of those projects focusing on Bordeaux varieties. And man, do these wines have an attention to detail. This is a soft and soulful Cab with little pops of berry fruit and hints of pepper flickering in and out of your senses. The palate is deep and settles on your palate with a perceived weight. It is powerful and smooth, all at once.
