Citrus, apple, faint grass. Nice minerality. Thought this would have more acid. Rounded. — 6 years ago
Grapes for this wine are from Fred and Dora’s 100 year old vineyard in Mendocino. Color is nearly black, nose is tight, closed only yielding on day 2. Schizoid wine...huge, young, tannic, acidic, alive—but ABV 12.5! Fine on day 1... amazing on day 2 with Medium filets, mushroom risotto, and brocolini. I laugh as I type this.. the mouthfeel is medium at most... not viscous or oily... but vibrant, alive, dancing across the palate. I really like this wine..so utterly California, but not new world at all. — 6 years ago
Real diff and playful Cab. Less tannic more fruit forward for sure. Drinks like a mouvedre and Bordeaux hybrid. Also not a bad backdrop: the Stifler’s Mom scene from American Pie in the background — 8 years ago
