Anchors Away

Heitz Cellar

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Nice nose, easy and light in the palate - hints of berries and a bit of spice. Not heavy on the tannins (pucker) on the back end. Smooth and a tad spicy. Lighter than what I was expecting in color and taste actually for a big famous California Cabernet Sauvignon. I liked it for sure...wasn't blown away though. — 10 years ago

This is steps away from perfection. The sweetness is balanced with acidity and covered with a complex bouquet of rich aromatics. It would be even better with age. — 11 years ago

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

The Prisoner. A great bottle of wine, to finish an equally great week. You pick up the fruit right away on the nose. Blackberry, cherry, cassis, and pepper :) #yegwine — 12 years ago

9.0

Blind Tasting MOT=90
Color: Solid Red
Nose: Earthy and cherries
Palate: Very sweet for some reason, and a little thin for my liking, initially there was something in the front of my mouth that was off putting (was an 86). As the night progressed that front of the palate feeling went away and came through with cherries and cassis.
Opinion: As I found out this needed more time open
