Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2015

Paul J
9.2

1hr+ decant. Dark red color with purple hues. Classic bell pepper, licorice, coffee, and a bit of oak on the nose. Medium plus depth with high alcohol. Could mistake for a Brunello. Some perfume and orange peel on the palate. Big tannins. A little too harsh on the palate for me. — 9 days ago

These guys used to make a “Heritage” blend with old Napa Zin vines and a bunch of other varietals that was so good. I was very sad when the stopped making it (probably grubbed up the vines and replanted with Cab $$).

The Heritage was great! Had my last bottle back in 2023.

Clos de Mez Fleurie Gamay 2018

Took a bit of a gamble given the rep for being very long lived. Opened t-8 hours and decanted 3+ hours. Still quite closed. You can get a sense of the depth of the fruit on the nose but overall it is veiled. The tannins are serious. Would never have guessed Beaujolais- one to let rest for many years. — a year ago

Wow. Premiere Cru Volnay from 1986! A gamble if a purchase and boy oh boy was it singing. Really pretty with character without some of the negative decay aspects. Beautiful color and weight. Smiles all around. With 4HHM for Sunday gravy. — 3 years ago

Holus Bolus Sta. Rita Hills Syrah 2017

Really dig all of their Syrahs I’ve tried. Felt like a gamble buying a bunch of wine based on a podcast ad but this one paid off. — 4 years ago
