Elevation 1147 Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Day 2 of Napa in the books!

The flagship offering from DA. 100% estate cab. Lots of similarities to the Old Vine Cab, but less spice and more sweetness. Would love to open one of these next to a Chappellet PH cab for comparison sake. Undoubtedly red and black fruit dominant with powerful and sweet oak. There is dark chocolate covered black cherries, fresh squeezed blackberries and underripe plum. Almost velvet like on the palate at this age. Needs time, of course, to fulfill its really nice potential.

Completely misleading as a Pinot Noir that acts as a Cabernet. Very rich cherries and smoke. Hard to rate in its category so I rate for enjoyment sake. — 8 years ago

Asahi-Shuzo Sake Brewing Co.

Kubota Manju Junmai Daiginjo

Very elegant, complex aroma, light umaminess(savoryness) with clean body.
Imagine to intaking the pleasant natural water from deep clean place of rainforest.

The pioneer of fragrant Sake, Kubota is highly recognized in Japan and USA for the top premium Artisanal Craft Sake Brewery from Niigata, Japan.

Two different sake rice called "Yamada Nishiki" and "Gohakumangoku" are being used to make this sake. That creates unique pleasant complex taste.

Napa Valley Merlot 2008

This was my bottle, and it was opened alongside a ‘15 for comparison sake. Aromatics were similar to the ‘15 (red and black fruit) but less candied. More dirty, but not off putting. However, the finish on this was very unique...it turned very umami/earthy/herbal. Maybe an odd phase as it wakes up? Structure was still very solid (as expected for mountain fruit) so this may hold a while...

Almost two hours later: Better with air. Became more dark chocolate covered. Wow. The savory notes have faded and it’s showing a more rich and dark cocoa type finish. Very enjoyable.

Very interesting wine. An initial pop and pour, this one had a very candied raspberry and cherry nose. On the entry, black cherry cola with some figs and a hint of dark cacao. The finish of this wine went to a very dark and soil rich truffle and mushroom for about the first 45 minutes. Almost seemed to have a straw or weedy kind of character. After an hour, the finish changed dramatically and this one was rocking. My goodness these Paloma Merlot are good.... If I could only keep my hands off of my younger vintages so that they could become older vintages!!

Clear yellowish amber with a white head. Sweet malt on the nose, citrus and a little herbal. A bit sweet on the palate too with sweet spices like cinnamon and caramel, some rice, yellow fruits and hops too. Long finish with a medium to full body. — 8 years ago
