Signorello, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Bright Napa Cabernet with ripe cherry, herbal notes, and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied and refined.

2004 vintage

Still drinking well. Still has some fruit.

2004 vintage

Who says CA Bordeaux blends cant age like their European counterparts??? Darn near 20 years out and this is still a fantastic bottle! Plenty of fruit, mainly dark. Some forest floor and learher notes. Still some grip, but oh so smooth. Lucky you if you still have a bottle or two in your cellar. Lucky me that I opened this today....

2004 vintage

Notes of cocoa, great balance, euro style. In a great drinking window.

2004 vintage

Dark red, violets on opening developing into more complex fragrances, including vanilla. 3.5 hour decant, notable sediment. Rich mouthfeel, well balanced tannins and fruit, with dark cherry and blackberry. Accessible and interesting now, but will gain complexity and can be kept for many more years.

2013 vintage

Bought back when I heard of the damage Signorello suffered in a fire (I hadn’t had any before). Nose of framboise, fresh cut grass, and menthol. On the palate has plush dark fruit and bitter chocolate and pine, fading to harsher notes of alcohol and menthol on the finish. Drinks like a $50 Cali cab (do those exist anymore?), but not quite at its $80-90 price point. Could give it more time, but I fear that the alcohol isn’t going …

2013 vintage

On opening, lots of deep red and black fruit, leather boots, blackberry forrest, smooth silky tannins, and long finish.

2004 vintage

Hazy notes from a couple of days back. I wondered if I left this too long in the cellar, but it was still going strong. Classic cab blackfruits and cedar, medium bodied on the palate, velvety texture, with just a touch too much oak for me. Tannins are ripe but present, in a good way. Very nice overall (A-).

2004 vintage

An old wine, part of a "past their prime" party where we drank wines that were supposedly on the decline. Still very drinkable, the tannins have totally softened and stay in the background, but the wine remains balanced. It was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Dark fruit aromas, trending toward figs and plums. Enjoyed immensely with some grilled tenderloin filets.

2004 vintage

Ripe Napa juice, certainly built to drink early, most cab fans will dig this stuff.

2013 vintage

Good but not great. A solid cab but expected a lot more from a PNV wine and for this price. Maybe too young still???

2013 vintage

Drank it far too young. Not even close to ready, needs more time to integrate. Try again in 5 years

2013 vintage

Slik smooth big nose with carmel, blackberry taste. Deep dark color and really enjoyed with chocolate. Will be even better laid down for a couple more years

2013 vintage

Still maintaining dark purple garnet colors with a bold yet short nose, the pallet still reflects a tight youth with complex fruit oak and tannins and the finish remains very long and flavorful. Drank in honor of the Signorello family after the Atlas peak fire that destroyed the winery. So glad they will rebuild as their tasting experience is very personable and enjoyable unlike the pretentious experience of their popular neighbor.

2013 vintage

Last night on the Allure of the Seas and this bottle was just a baby. Deep ruby red with some garnet too. Dark nose with spices, dark berries, black currants, cassis and purple flowers. Heavy and rough tannins (8/10) with a medium plus to full body. A little rigid on the palate even with some time. Dark cocoa, some earthiness and cassis on the palate. A touch bitter too with lots of minerality in the long finish. This bottle needs …

2013 vintage

Dark colors, a good nose and a youthful pallet with a long finish. Looking forward to drinking once more mature

2013 vintage

Nose is a bit closed off, but it's extremely young, Very approachable as a PnP, surprisingly, the tannins are fine and sweet, Cocoa, cassis, dark red fruit and black fruits, tar, asphalt, good silky texture and long finish. Best example of this in a while, but I do feel I can get this same profile for the 50 dollar range. Excellent wine regardless.

2013 vintage

Amazing length on the finish. The wine will age 25 years or more

2013 vintage

Note of blackcurrants and blueberries. This is a full body Cabernet, that will age well.

2013 vintage

Two soils types. Mountain and valley floor. Four clones of cabernet. Everything always separate in wine making. Here 2/3 mountain rest valley floor. 14% merlot and some franc. 80% new oak. More red fruit and spice then farella.

2013 vintage

A four hour tasting appointment thanks to James. great to see James and visit Signorello. Nose of black cherry, black currants, and cigar box, more of the same on the palate, medium body, 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, tasty, medium amount of soft tannins, touch simple, medium/long finish.

2013 vintage

Decanted for an hour. Tannins fully resolved. Cassis and blackberry at the core, with a little Rutherford dust and vanilla on the nose. Mouth-filling. Finish round and satisfying. Very good.

2004 vintage

very nice. hints of dark chocolate and earthy aromas. beautiful summer flowers, resolved tannins, so smooth. loved this wine.

2000 vintage

Mostly Cab Sauv (75%) with Merlot (18%) and Cab Franc (7%) to complete the blend. Fig and jammy plum aromas from the glass. Ageing quite well, this full-bodied red wine has nice aroma replays, plus some mint, cassis and black currant notes on the palate. Very good acidity.

2004 vintage

Decanted 30 mins but needed more; big, tannic beast initially that opened up as evening wore on. Cassis, blackberry, vanilla on the nose; black fruit, boysenberry and vanilla cream on the palate. Medium finish only discordant note.

2004 vintage

Loved this cab! Big, blackberry, cassis and cocoa on the nose. Black fruits and vanilla on the palate; long, smooth finish. Delicious.

2004 vintage

tasted it at the end of a italian dinner.had the flavors of vanilla and boisenberry.oak on the back side.very long legs could easily go 10 more yrs.glad i have one more

2004 vintage

Gripy tannings that developed into a really good bottle of wine - we open it 1/2 hour before drinking & we did the wine a big favor. Will open the next in a year

2004 vintage

A fantastic mid-range Cab. It's a big, bold style that's rich with tons of oak and touch of minerality and a very nice grip that really accentuates the finish. -- Consumed at at cellar temp: 60°-65° F. Friends don't let friends drink red wine at room temp!

2004 vintage

Smooth, big cab with dark berries and prune, a little sweet. Nice bouquet and long finish. For the money, this is a very good California cab

2004 vintage

what a delicious wine ,beautiful bouquet along with fantastic color.should be drank with red meat

2004 vintage

4th Saturday group "uptown" tasting (Joe P's) : Garnet color. Aromas of sous bois, iron and tobacco. Terrific red fruit tones on the palate. Balanced, with loads of fruit and a nice, medium/long finish.

2000 vintage

opened another and feel the same. ready and worth it

2004 vintage

Boring, over priced Napa cab.

2004 vintage

A little Rubensesque for my money. Too much oak at first and and a too sweet overall - Mickey Rooney holding a donut.

2004 vintage

big and ready. very well balanced. you will be pleased. forget the lingo this is just good...very good wine

2004 vintage

Big powerful cab full of oak and dense dark berries. Well made, would pair perfectly with a great steak!

2004 vintage

Great bottle from Bucci

2004 vintage

Smooth, velvety, oaky big cab. Beautiful.

2004 vintage

A very big cab with nice prune and cassis flavors. Tastes like it is very extracted, perhaps a bit overextracted. Nontheless, good acidity and not a bad value.

2004 vintage

Had a 375ml bottle and it has probably just passed it's window. Really nice nose of menthol, licorice and vanilla. Light tannins with vanilla, and chocolate. Meduim finish. Drink up

2000 vintage

Relaxed nose with a little spice, chocolate and mint on the palate. supple tannins, good mouthfeel. Overall very nice.

2000 vintage

What was initially a low expectation experience turned out to be a rather impressive showing. Extremelly well done, fresh and forward. Color and nose were impecable. Fruit was a true balanced cabernet.

2000 vintage

First of all, why didn't I buy all of this at $2? A no-brainer. Deep color. Medium tannins. A touch of vanilla in the nose. Nice medley of black fruits, mocha and tobacco flavors.

2000 vintage

Nice wine, not big. Had with Prime Rib dinner...a little light for the meat. Mellow fruit, berry taste/smell. Also had post dinner and washed off tongue quickly, minimal mouth feel and aftertaste.

2000 vintage

only note on this one was: thin. Tasted with the 2002 Zin and 2002 Pinot which showed quite well, especially the zin.

2000 vintage

Late dinner of Argentinian sweetbreads. The Signorello has deep layers of flavors -- dark fruits, touch of vanilla. Medium tannins. Very approachable but I think this will improve and be a low 90's wine. Go back Monday and get the rest of the bottles at $2 per 375ml --what was I thinking

2000 vintage

Well-balanced, mellow tannins. Probably get better with more time, very nice Cabernet

2000 vintage
