Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

1.5 hour decant(decent chunky sediment). A majestic deep purplish magenta color with a little bricking. Always have a soft spot for aged Cain Five and Chris's old school savory style(embrace a little brett!). On the nose: stunning nose of worn leather, funky wet earth, red fruit, touch of menthol, nutty. Taste: Restrained, silky, elegant, balanced wine with dusty earth, herbaceous, currants, plum, cedarwood, and peppery dark chocolate medium finish. YUM! Hitting its stride with time to go. — 7 months ago

Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

We had the 2014 Vintage on 7/15-16/23. An excellent Cab with tastes of black cherry, blueberry, oak, vanilla and lavender. Full bodied, fruit forward and well balanced. The tannins are all smoothed out. Outstanding! — 10 months ago

Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Popped and poured. Deep ruby color with moderate staining of the tears. Developing, with a fairly becoming nose with ripe black plums, dark bramble fruit, vanilla, some pipe tobacco, some chocolate and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium(+?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. It’s really primary now but it should drink better after 2025 and through 2034. — 7 months ago

KWN Zin Edition!
Wine 1. Like drinking silk. Smooth, rich blackberry fruit, Briary. The only issue was tasting this first and everything had to live up to this.

Cedarman Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2017

2017 Turkey Zinfandel from Howell Mountain. I called the color deep purple. First thing that hit me is very creamy nose… vanilla cream that fills some donuts (heavy malo?). Fresh blueberry… lots of berries, it’s a berry salad. Also dried prune/fig, some chocolate and baked spices. Solid wine! I need to drink more zin!! — 8 months ago

McCrea Vineyard Athearn Estate Chardonnay 2012

Pretty amazing, great fruit, tropical but not over the to. Plenty creamy but doesn't leave you with a mouth of butter/oily texture. The acid is clean. Need some more time to integrate. Love this producer. — 9 years ago
