Bob Cabral Wines

Troubadour Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Raspberry, cherry, cola, rhubarb, orange rind, Earl Grey tea, sandalwood, baking spice. Very lifted and fresh on the palate with vivid ruby color and a graceful feminine character. Truly excellent, superbly-crafted New World Pinot Noir that is delicious, speaks of its place and will hold well in the cellar. There’s only one problem here: An utterly absurd price which I find on the verge of criminal. I have no doubt this segment of the market will bear it, but personally I refuse to let price color my perception of what is actually in the glass which in this case is a very fine Pinot Noir, not Grand Cru Vosne Romanee. For the suggested retail price of this wine I would suggest three or four different Pinot Noir (grown anywhere in the world) that could provide equal if not greater measures of happiness. — 6 years ago

@Jordan Wardlaw Nice review Cheers 🍷

Enfield Wine Co.

Fort Ross-Seaview Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages. — 7 years ago

Bravo to my brother-in-law that picked this one up for us to end with. Committing infanticide drinking a 2012 done but it was spectacular nonetheless! Thanks Bob! — 8 years ago

For sure, Dunn is baby-snatching. Go to jail. Move directly to jail. Do not pass go and do not collect $200.

Medium-dark ruby, showing its age, mushroom, earthy, medium-full, tannins largely resolved, a little drying in the long finish. A generous gift from an online wine friend -- thanks Bob Cohen!! — 9 years ago

Three Sticks

Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Massive butter bomb. Origionally served chilled and it showed very well. As it warmed up the malo took over the wine and it became very viscous and greasy on the finish. Serve and keep chilled. I am excited to see what Bob Cabral is going to bring to this project. A dash of structure could make these wines hedonistic as well as well structured. I will be keeping an eye on Three Sticks. — 9 years ago

This wine is getting better each time I try it. It still has years to go.
Amazing complexity and still a mouthful of fruit. John Harris, maybe you should have kept Jeff? Looking forward to your current wine in a bunch of years. All the beat to Bob
