Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Medium lemon color with aromas of ripe stone and citrus fruits and floral notes, no MLF. On the palate flavors of pear, apple and melon with notes of lemon citrus, honeysuckle, cinnamon and vanilla oak. Well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and slight mineral and pepper notes. — 13 days ago

Followed the 1997 vintage with the newly released 2018 Merlot, the first production in 23 years. Ruby red in color with sweeter smells of dark cherry, vanilla and licorice. Medium body with a smooth, silky texture. Soft and elegant berry palate with a cranberry and boysenberry finish. Very easy to drink for a Merlot. — 2 months ago

An exceptional bottle. Super pure. Iron, deep blue fruit, totally resolved oak, wonderfully gnarly and intense. Fresh but aged. Glorious stuff. — a month ago

Aged Cabernet from Napa is enjoyable. Aged Cabernet from one of the few New World Bordeaux producers can be a heavenly experience. This version is hitting all the notes in its solo performance. Blackberry, currant, leather, tobacco, smoke and a giant YUM! Deep thick rich elegant expressive. Yes, something to enjoy now and over the next 3-5 years. — 2 months ago
