Louis M. Martini Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
Louis M. Martini is part of the new era of Napa. The Martinis arrived in the Valley in the 1930s just as a group of vintners was about to embark on a post-prohibition journey to what is now our most famous wine region. This winery has been doing Cab since the beginning and have such a wide range of wines that it’s hard to know where to start. Well, start here and then you will compelled to dive deeper. Blackberry fruit welcomes the nose with a hint of pepper. The palate is jammy with firm tannins showing a nice contrast between austere and plush. It has a nice structure and will be a nice addition to a holiday meal or steak night.
