West London Wine School: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Tuesday 27 September 2016
,
Join us we celebrate and indulge in the vinous delights of the Napa Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon - arguably the finest expression of the grape variety outside of Bordeaux. There will be 9 wines to taste ranging from £55 to £140 per bottle!
After the famous 'Judgement of Paris' tasting in 1976, where the creme de la creme of France was pitched against the movers and shakers of California, the world took note of this now famous wine region, as it took top spot. Almost forty years on,some of the New World's finest wines are now found here. In Napa there is a concentration of powerful and complex Cabernet Sauvignon. These certainly are finely crafted wines that we shall tuck into with gusto.
For anyone who loves fruity, full and complex reds or whites with personality that show off fine craftsmanship, this is a tasting not to be missed.
