Sexy Sextant Cabernet

The 2012 vintage was a good one for Napa.  More juice than most could handle.  Sextant prospered.
Sextant is the name of an instrument used to guide navigators and explorers.  Now, it lends its name to a fine wine.  As if the winemaker is asking you to come in and explore this wine.  Find your destination and enjoy.
Steve Martell is the winemaker and gives us this sexy  offering from Paso Robles. It  is a far better specimen than most Paso brands.  The nose offers degrees of oak, white pepper, bunches of flowers, dark dark cherry.  The succulent aroma inviting and enticing.  Begging you to further immerse yourself in the beauty that is before you.
The mouth hits you with full flavors. Fruit forward and lush.  So much fruit.  Rich ripe and effervescent. Lovely.  Short tannins that creep in after a long lingering finish.  Easy and ready to drink now.  I have practically enjoyed the bottle now.  What can I say.  A prime example of quality wine making.
Enjoy.
Wow look at that beauty.

I had to show off my dinner that I enjoyed. 
Pork chops and veggies. 
Wow they went together well.
