Continuing with CA winery tastings. This is 100% Cabernet from Estelle Vineyards. Dark red with ripe dark fruit aromas, with a light spice on the nose. The palate shows Jammy blackberry and cherry flavors on a backbone of smooth tannins. Well balanced this wine is great to drink now if you can get one. Tasting Sample. — 10 years ago

Second wine we are trying tonight and the same name as my mom. Garnet red with a crimson core. Nose started off with a slight smokiness that wore off to plums, dark cherries, and some light strawberries. Very interesting undertone of thick and creamy dark cocoa. Slight baking spices on the palate with some dark cherries and plums. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with a strong structured body. Slight dryness to the finish. Definitely needs a couple years to fully integrate and becoming a stunning WA Bordeaux. Drink from 2017 till 2028. 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. — 10 years ago

2006 vintage - This is why muscadet deserves more attention. Super mineral and saline, crushed oyster shells, some peach and cream. Seriously balanced effort after 9 years aging — 11 years ago
