Infinito Estate Bottled

Paradigm

Estate Bottled Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, fresh cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and mediterranean spices.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light vanilla, cedar, licorice, light cola, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, coffee, light earth, herbs, spices and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, elegant and complex. Fruit forward and luxurious. Alcohol is nicely integrated already.

Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had an older vintage before, and it ages beautifully.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

One of the most underrated properties in Napa. Owners are wonderful too.

@Jay Kline I second your comments. Ren & Marilyn are pure class. A friend who loves their wine told me Heidi Barrett stepped aside in 2024.

Estate Bottled Angelo's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I have mentioned my admiration for this producer when Charles Hendricks was their Winemaker through 2013. 2013 is a great Napa vintage for a swan song. My last Regusci post was their Patriarch and is my second favorite Regusci vineyard. Angelo’s, I mentioned was my favorite and this didn’t disappoint.

Not many well stored Angelo’s or Patriarch Regusci’s made by Charles left on the secondary market. This one was well stored with next to no wine running down the cork.

The nose is inviting. Ripe, ruby fruits of, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, strawberries, raspberries & cherries. Dark chocolate to pudding, anise, malted milk balls, mid berry to red cola, beautiful, nicely layered baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon stick & vanilla, moist sage, black olive, dry stem & top soils, baking powder, tree bark with red & dark florals for days.

The tannins are still M+ but rounded & velvety. Ripe, ruby fruits of, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, strawberries, raspberries & cherries. Dark chocolate cake to pudding, anise, malted milk balls, mid berry to red cola, dark, fruit liqueur notes beautiful, nicely layered baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon stick & vanilla, moist sage, black olive, dry stem & top soils, limestone, dry crushed rocks, baking powder, tree bark, dark, pronounced spice w/ heat, dryish tobacco w/ ash, leather, lead pencil with red & dark florals for days and liquid violets, beautiful acidity with tall structure/tension, great length & balance and elegance that lasts minutes and long sets on dry earth & spice.

Outstanding.Tasted many Napa Cabernets last weekend at Pebble Beach Food & Wine. Holds its own in all of them except the Harlan tasting; 94, 04, 07, 13, 16 & 20. Even Grace Family.

PnP. This was great! Drove by the winery on Spring Mountain last week! Dark red color with dark, candied fruit on the nose. Classic Napa cab with nice terroir elements. Great depth and awesome texture. Another excellent Wine Spectator recommendation. — 3 months ago
