Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

04’ Joseph Phelps Insignia . Thought it would be close to a pop & pour...NO! Thick tannins that dissipate nicely after a 45 minute decant. Full - bodied.
Color- Dark purple
Nose- Flowers , lavender
Palate- Blackberry , espresso, light oak, nicely integrated acidity.
WOW... Seamless/smooth.
Drinking- now with another 5+? great years. Could possibly be many more. Drinking so nicely, why wait.

Trione Vineyards & Winery

Block Twenty One Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Welcome my fellow wine lovers. This is Trione 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon !!!!!!!!! OMG. The cork is perfect with a very thin rim. The color is opaque midnight purple. The legs are amazing at a full 12 second fall and very thick. The bouquet is reminiscent of dark berries and figs with a hint of gardenia. The initial palate is blackberry, black pepper, spice with a vanilla twist. There are hints of oak and cedar. The finish is so buttery smooth with no after taste. It is dry and leaves you longing for the another sip! This may be my favorite wine ever. This is too good to drink with food!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could afford a case of this! I highly recommend you try this wine.

Okay its April 18, 2016 and Im drinking the 2010 Cab. It must decant for at least an hour! It is still very young. Tannins are off the chart. Almost too sour. 8.5

Beautiful Malbec. Nose of red fruits. Full bodied, dry and with great structure. Hints of vanilla, and the minerality and acidity of altitude malbecs. Smooth and long. Great example of a well done malbec. — 8 years ago

Boekenhoutskloof

The Chocolate Block Cinsault Blend 2014

Used to utilize it exactly as the name suggests. Giving away to ladies to make their life a bit sweeter. It does work. No chocolate, a very thin may be even subtle aroma. Currant, a bit of other dark berries and spices taste. This one had better years and hopefully some good ones ahead. — 8 years ago

Wow this is a luscious sex bomb of a wine. All berries and cream with a mocha and clove kiss at the end. Silky smooth and sensual. Incredible. Don’t pair with food. No need to wait. Drink it now with 45 mins of air. Wow — 8 years ago
