Malbec

I am not a great fan of Malbec, but this specimen explodes with strong scents of red fruit and lots of character. There is a strong undertone of ascent I can't quite place, but I am leaning towards vanilla. Full bodied, with medium tannins, the red fruits continue on the palate, with tangy aftertaste and long finish. — 8 years ago

Cain Vineyard & Winery

Cain Cuvée NV10 Napa Valley Merlot Blend

And Abel said to Cain.."Hey quit trying to one up me all the time and buy some Napa varietals, blend them perfectly and come up with one of the finest Meritage's around."

And Cain said.."you're such a colossal pain in the ass. What? Cain Five wasn't good enough? You have to have a totally accessible Cab blend with the slightest amount of Petit Verdot to balance things out and keep the fruit under control? Seriously? You have to have a great wine that's ready to go right now? Okey Dokey! And here's some more lamb."

Rock Ferry

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010

Ripe plum, lightest hint of white pepper, floral aromatics. Made with Abel, 5, 667 and 777 clones. The tannins are very refined but and not very present initially but hang in a pleasantly ling lingering experience. This wine is ready for sure but may have another interesting 5 years ahead of it. — 9 years ago

Bam! Holy crap. One sniff and this wine captivates you. Incredibly beautiful, floral, whole cluster Pinot nose. I just kept smelling it and forgot to actually drink it for a while. Elegance and finesse are what I smelled, but the palate had the structure/seriousness/power Otago Pinot is known for but harnesses and refined.

No sulfur(maybe a bit at bottling). 100% whole-cluster, carbonic, Abel clone.
