Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Review
If you can find the 2015 of this wine it’s like night and day to this vintage. Extremely night and day. Here the alcohol has spiked from 13.6% to a whopping 15%. Whoa, that’s nuts. Alas, this wine is not the profile of balance as the previous year was, with heat coming off the glass being the first thing you encounter, followed by some stewed cherry and blackberry fruit. If you dig big boozy reds, this is for you. If not, then go find the 2015, its great.
