Rojo oscuro y lágrima muy densa.Frutos rojos y negros en nariz. En boca suave con taninos equilibrados. Un pequeño amargor al final que desaparece al rato de estar aireado. Buen vino para empezar con los franceses que he comprado.

Casto Oaks

Gardner Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. I got a bottle before release and labeling from Casto Oaks Winery- here it is.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish/reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, mint, cola, tobacco, dark chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead, alcohol and peppercorn.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, leather, spices, bitter herbs, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Long finish with angular tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a wonderful cabernet from California. Not fully balanced yet with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

Needs 3 years to mature and balance itself out. Hugh grippy tannins are still overwhelming, which I actually liked.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (45 minutes). Delicious.

This Single Vineyard was aged in American oak barrels for 15 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Casto Oaks

Mariposa County Zinfandel 2013

Ruby /brick In color with a wide reddish /brick rim.

Fruity nose with black currants, black cherries, sweet strawberries, wood, mocha, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, spices, black pepper, light alcohol and pencil lead.

Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, sweet strawberries, red currants, oak, vanilla, tobacco, spices, chocolates, peppercorn and dark coffee.

Medium plus in length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6 year old Zinfandel from Sierra Foothills is peaking now. Drinking very nicely with nice balance and complexity. Spicy with a soft mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and show the tannins. The spicy finish lingers for a few minutes.

I had this vintage a year ago and I'm glad I had another bottle. What a difference.

I paired it with meats and cheeses.

Aged for 12 months in American (mostly neutral) oak barrels.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Piccini

Buon Governo All'uso Toscano Sangiovese Blend

Ya degustado el del 2015, ¡muy bueno! Vino que revive una olvidada tradición típica de la región de la Toscana llamada “Governo Toscano” consiste en inducir una 2da fermentación añadiendo un pequeño porcentaje de pasas, lo cual ofrece al vino una característica distinta, redonda y permite en paladar percibir, frutas taninos dulces, esta maravilla la acompañamos con la cena de noche buena, !armonía perfecta! Esperando que hayan pasado una linda navidad y el 2018 nos brinde salud paz y muchos éxitos !abrazos! — 7 years ago

Port Zinfandel 2015

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of mint, cherries, blueberries, dried figs, raisins, spices, eucalyptus, cloves, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppermint, licorice and black pepper.

Full-bodied with high acidity and great legs.

Sweet on the palate with blueberries, sweet cherries, black currants, spices, licorice, oak, mint, earth, leather, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice surprise. A great Vintage Port, made out of Zinfandel grapes from California.

Well-balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Feels like a red Zinfandel, but sweet. Good all by itself, as a dessert.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime, when nice tannins come in to play. I really enjoyed the tannins and the mouthfeel on this port. Very unique.

I paired it with sweet desserts.

Aged for 18 months in neutral American oak barrels.

18% alcohol by volume.
