#AgedWineTuesday

Dark inky in color with a short reddish/ brick rim.

Strong nose of cooked black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry, and still fruity on the palate, with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, tobacco, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, cola and mediterranean spices.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 22 year old Bordeaux blend from Beckstoffer Vineyard in Napa Valley is drinking gorgeously now. Rich and fruit forward, extremely complex and engaging. Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Still drinking at its peak, although will not get better from this point on, as it feels like it is at the end of its peak.

I did not decant it, and let it open up in the bottle. Delicious after an hour, and a great sipping wine.

A superb experience at this point in time.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Vivid clear, color and tight, concentrated fruit. Cherries and plums and juiciness. Very delicious, but also seem to fade very quickly and it’s flavor. Corked it for a day and a half and came back to something that was quite quickly on its way out and had become round and just grape juicy. Maybe that’s on me for leaving it.  — 7 months ago

New vintage! Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Citrus, thyme and black pepper notes in nose. High acid, good body, lots of skin tannins given blanc de noir style of 100% Cabernet Franc. Flavor descriptors of lime peel, lime, thyme and black pepper apply. Mineral finish — a year ago

What can I say I love anything Angela makes, and the new Tribute to Grace tasting room in Los Alamos is a gem. My Dad declared this was his favorite wine ever and my mom is from nearby Cucamonga, so let’s just say everyone was happy. For that reason, wine of our trip out west after not seeing the folks for 18 months. As always, just incredibly elegant Grenache, light on its feet, but not without its nuanced power — 5 years ago

Decant and pour. On the nose: Terrific nose of stewed plum, eucalyptus, herbaceous, smoke, black olives, and mushroom. Taste: smooth, creamy, dry wine with blackberry, pencil lead, dried herbs, smoke, dark cherry, earth, and a medium finish. — 2 years ago

I love this lighter weight, more aromatic Grenache. Well worth a look. — 5 years ago

A gift from a friend, this is lovely, with a bit of tobacco on the nose and lively cherry and strawberry flavors on the palate. The finish goes on and on. — 3 months ago

Fantastic showing. Hazelnut, ginger, pineapple and toast, brilliant balance. Impeccable midpalate followed by a persistent finish with brioche, orange blossom and whipped cream with lemony notes. At its peak. — 5 years ago
