Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon — Napa Valley 2023
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at this price is a rare find — and Educated Guess makes a compelling case that you don’t have to spend a fortune to drink well from one of the world’s greatest wine regions. The 2023 vintage is bright, structured, and built for the table.
The nose is spiced and cedary, with dark cherry, ripe plum, hints of cigar box, and a whisper of wet earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and chewy with a lightly austere, bitter-spice character balanced by juicy, fruit-forward depth. Petite Sirah contributes beautiful color and spice, while splashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec round out the mouthwatering finish.

James Suckling writes: A fruit-driven, creamy and mellow cabernet sauvignon with cassis, baked cherries and blossoms. It’s medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins and texture. Deliciously fruity finish. Drink now. - James Suckling 90
James Molesworth writes: This is up-front in feel, with a gush of plum and black cherry compote flavors laced with sweet toast and a flash of herbs. Drink now through 2025. - Wine Spectator
