2021 vintage. Courtesy of @Neil Valenzuela Decanted and tasted after 1 hour. Light medium/medium body. Backing band and structure mainly there. Intro and middle of the song catchy. Last third/finish will round into form in the next 7-8 years. Pretty introduction as we speak. Def beyond above-average producer that strives for (leaner) balance. So young but feel like this will represent that eventually. 12.10.25. — 8 days ago

Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Medium Ruby color, with aromas of berries, tea and spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and tart black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. — 7 days ago
11/2025. One of my favorite Pinot Noir’s. Good fruit without over powering cherry. Paired well with my Thanksgiving meal. — 17 days ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Purple in color with a purplish rim.
Fresh fruits on the nose with cedar, licorice and chocolates notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, light vegetables, tobacco, light earth, herbs and black pepper.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Pauillac. Elegant, fruit forward and rich.
Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.
Still young, and a tad subdued at the moment, but with good structure and nice complexity. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Already showing a great mouthfeel, nicely balanced and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. Aged in (75% new) French Oak barrels.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
