After hearing a few rumblings about this being an exceptional value Cabernet, I had to investigate. From vineyards around 2400’ elevation in Lake County’s Red Hills, and Aaron Pott oversees the winemaking. Pott’s accolades are as deep as his resume, including winemaker of the year from Food & Wine in 2012. He is considered a top consultant in Napa. The wine takes about an hour to come out of its shell. Medium-bodied, heavy on the Luden’s, but in a good way, with a rich cherry and eucalyptus focus. Not extracted at all, but tons of intensity. Secondary notes of pipe tobacco, clove, and vanilla add depth. Not for everyone, but I can understand why some will really get behind this. For fans of light to medium bodied Cabs, this is a must. — 8 years ago

Friday night random whites...
Fresh, clean and refreshing, light White peach notes. Nose is attractive, but a little too cold on first taste, so slightly closed initially.
Off-dry blend of NY's Finger Lakes region Cayuga & Vignoles, nose is really opening up nicely with some air and warming of the wine in the glass. Not overly complex, but this is a solid buy for the $10/$13 (wine club/retail) price. — 8 years ago
