Rombauer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 Review

This bombastic blockbuster of a Napa Cab holds nothing back, with scents of sweet blackberry, mint chocolate syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon. It’s round and dense in the mouth, definitively fruit and oak-driven, but a solid dose of acidity pulls the wine back from the edge of being fat and flabby.
