Summary

The Nine Suns 2014 is a distinguished estate red from the Houyi Vineyard in Napa Valley, showcasing a Bordeaux-style blend primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine reflects the esteemed 2014 Napa vintage, offering a harmonious balance of dark cherry and plum flavors complemented by mocha and espresso notes. Its medium-weight structure allows for both brightness and depth, enhanced by floral nuances and a lifted finish. Produced in limited quantities, this magnum format is particularly sought after for its aging potential, especially following the acquisition by Realm Cellars, which adds to its collector allure. This blend exemplifies a robust character with a refined, articulate profile.

Tasting Notes

V92

The 2014 Proprietary Red comes across as a blend of 2012 and 2013. It has some of the brightness of the 2013 but also the slightly more mid-weight structure of the 2012. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, espresso and menthol shape the nuanced, articulate finish, with floral notes and attractive lift.
