Mountain Estates Hideaway Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Lots of slate on the aroma right when the bottle opens, but the wine quickly breathes allowing some scents of black currant and peach to shine through. All chocolate upfront, reminds me of brownie batter. The slate comes back on the mid palate, with an interesting watermelon rind thing going on too. A real mild but long lingering heat on the finish that makes me think of ginger. Over all, a really nice and transformative wine that is a great journey from start to finish. — 4 years ago

Dry Napa Valley Chenin Blanc 2015

I'm a fan of this and always have been.
A great wine from a somewhat obscure varietal in Napa but when on high elevation hillsides....😋

Continuum

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

In contrast to the Chappellet this was rocking although 5 years younger and both from Pritchard Hill. Deep dark fruits, chocolate, black cherry and some oak but very well integrated. I've never opened a Continuum that doesn't kick ass. Young but no reason to wait. — 9 years ago

Sebastiani

Gravel Bed Sonoma County Red Blend 2014

I have been waiting to try this for a while, since I missed the 2013. So once 2014 came out, I jumped on it and am glad I did.

Another Meritage that is absolutely killing it.

I often wonder how wines are named and with this one, I suspect there were multiple reasons. First, most naturally, it's an ode to the 3 acre site this comes from. But, my own impression is that the nose is particularly savory with some overt wet rock notes. Given that this is a Bordeaux blend, I suspect the Cab franc is low here based on the nose alone.

On the palate, there are violets, cassis and well integrated oak that gives way to a sense of Graham Cracker. Amazing! Great

For under $30, it's this cuvée and the Chappellet mountain cuvée for sub 30 WOTY.

Philip Togni Vineyard

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Not the best vintage, but this is classic Napa Cabernet. A classic nose, the palate is great, mid-afternoon is amazing and then things get awkward on the finish with dry brittle tannins. Still a good effort though. The Togni style is rooted in the old world as the senior Philip is a Brit. His daughter Lisa now makes the wines but they are of the same family tree for sure. Philip remarkably made the Chappellet wines in the early years and set a reputation there of superb quality and classicism. Looking for a top Napa Cabernet? Togni is one of the best and well priced. They drink well young, but superbly with time. #puritydefined — 10 years ago
