Goldschmidt Vineyards Game Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 is a beautifully matured single-vineyard red from the heart of Oakville, Napa Valley. The 2014 vintage is highly regarded for its approachable elegance and balance, following the more muscular 2013 vintage. Sourced from the iron-rich, volcanic "red dirt" soils of the Game Ranch vineyard on the eastern bench, this wine captures the classic structure and mineral depth that define world-class Oakville Cabernet.
On the nose, it delivers a complex and evolved bouquet of dried blackcurrants, black cherry, and sandalwood, accented by tertiary notes of leather, pipe tobacco, and the signature "Oakville dust." The palate is full-bodied and exceptionally smooth, with the once-firm tannins now fully integrated and velvety. Layers of dark fruit compote, mocha, and savory herbs lead to a long, sophisticated finish with a persistent mineral core.
93 Points - James Suckling
A big, old school and extracted cabernet sauvignon with concentrated fruit and chocolate character. Full body. Chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Seriously structured. Better in 2020.
