McGrail Vineyards

A Jo Elet Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Got to meet the winemaker and take a tour of their crush pad. This is a big, full bodied Cabernet. A little extracted, but very nice! — 8 years ago

Banfi

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009

This is one of the handful of vintages that benefit from new investments to the crush pad and grape processing areas. This 2009 vintage gives a soft texture and bright inviting acidity that makes it more generous earlier in life. The espresso, new leather, and tobacco leaf all carry through until the finish. — 10 years ago

Alpha Omega

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This is a very non/technical review. I pick up hints of the crush pad at harvest, as well as the barrel room just after fermentation. Definitely dark fruit. The color is fantastic in the glass. I taste grape jelly, cinnamon, a little coffee as well as some earthiness. The tannins are well behaved making this wine an excellent bottle of wine. I do think it will be even better in 10 years! Cheers. — 8 years ago
