Experiment N1.4 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2014

Last of the weekend Ovids and exactly what I was referring to in other posts. The Experiment reds are generally fantastic. Bold and rich and unique. @Matt Duncan these last two wines are what makes Ovid special. β€” 5 years ago

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Ming L
9.2

Tor Kenward specialized in single vineyard CS from a few top sites, but the β€œNapa Valley” bottling is a blend of all the vineyards he works with. For 2014 the juice is predominantly from Melanson vineyard from Pritchard Hill, home to some of the most exquisite CS bottles in all of Napa - Chappellet, Bryant Family, Colgin, and Ovid.
Rich in black fruits but laced with red fruit freshness and elements of dusty earth, herbs, chocolate, and raisin. Luxurious mouthfeel. Broad yet precise. A refined beauty.

Melanson Vineyard Matthew's Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

What a vintage on Pritchard Hill! This is THE go to in this zip code (way under The neighbors are Ovid & Colgin. I can’t believe this is 7 years from vintage - it’s still very young with lots of currant and blueberry with mocha. Tannins kick in in the mid palate and a lengthy finish. With a rack of lamb - proof God loves us! β€” 5 years ago

@Greg Ballington It was really cool. It really feels like a departure from Napa, or at least Napa today. And the wines match that feel.

Experiment L2.2 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

Still young in the bottle and almost inky in color. The merlot in the blend softens the tannins considerably. Slightly more acidic than the standard red blend which complemented my rare ribeye cap steak beautifully. β€” 5 years ago

Andy Erickson's history is hard to beat...Harlan, Staglin, Hartwell, Ovid, Dalla Valle and some place called Screaming Eagle. This one, while not the same notoriety as the others, still shows Mr Erickson's ability to blend an amazing wine. Not overly complicated, but great overall food wine. β€” 8 years ago
