Boutique winery, only 100 cases made,

Three Palms Vineyard Merlot 2014

Bought a case of these at release price for the sole purpose of flipping since some folks are willing to pony up for Spectators #1 of the year. But curiosity got the better of me. Had to see what a # 1 $95.00 wine taste like, you have to be kidding me😳😳, # 1 ?!!
I thought Parkers 96 for Caymus 40th was ridiculous, this takes the cake, totally lame wine

Okay day two is definitely better for this bottle, but still can’t see $100.00 & # 1 wine

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher it’s posts with these comments that make me love Delectable. I hadn’t purchased this WS#1 but was curious. My visit to Duckhorn tasting room 2 years ago was a disappointment, but I blamed it on the crowd and my mood. I was going to search out this current popularity contest winner, but will let it go. Thanks to all.

Go Falcons!!

I'd love to match Parkers 95, but I have to stick with 93. This is the darkest wine I have seen. Deep purple. Looks like motor oil in the distance but the red legs let you know its juice. Nose reminds me of Round Pond with a slight (very slight) touch of VHR. Fruit definitely must be from the valley or slight elevation. Blackberries, toast, spring flower, pine, slate, & red iron dust. Touch of mocha brought out with Tiramisu. Finally opened up after 4 hours. Not sure I would buy and drink again. If I did, I would cellar for years - at least 10-20.

@Ryan M Just because it gets 95 points doesn't mean you have to like it. It's just one man's opinion . Parker 😏
Didn't have a rooting interest in either team. What a football game !

Not seeing Parkers 96 points, nor the price point of over $200.00 on release, $150.00 on auction.
He calls it a Profound Cabernet from Sonoma🙄 that rivals anything from Napa.

Bevan Cellars

Two Dog Knoll Vineyard Red Wine 2013

This & the 2013 Moavani Syrah were my favorite 2013’s from Bevan, the only ones I re ordered.
Two Dogs Knoll is beneath Harlan & next to Martha’s.
Parkers review (96) says almost a split between Petit Verdot & Cabernet, but not the case.
According to Russel’s tasting video its about 90% Petit Verdot from Two Dogs & the rest is Sugar Loaf Merlot. Fantastic juice, if you can find it for $225.00 or less buy it

Artistry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Actually surprised us for the better tonight. Pomegranates, grapefruit, and cherry on the nose. Those notes made it to the palate with cedar and a pleasing herbal note. Most of it went to the Parkers stew, but happy to have some join the glass! — 8 years ago

Entre Vous

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Has that ruby red pinot color unlike the normal big cabs I like, this was the most expensive out of the 6, $150.00 minus the 25% discount, so still a little over a hundred.
None were horrible, but nothing special out of the 6 this wknd either.
Should of looked at Parkers review first, 90-93,
2nd day & 2 more hours of decant really opened this up,

Yeah. For me, I consider their tasting notes are directional only.
Roman Sukley

I've not tasted the 12 Bone Rock yet, but that vineyard produces some seriously over-the-top wines that need several years rest to perform at their peak. That, or at least some serious decant time. I believe that 99 rating is on potential. Just my two cents.
Paul T HB

Paul T HB

@Roman Sukley Its not bad in the least, just not what I was expecting for a 99 point wine, wasn't tight or tannic just a little thin & muted on the nose,
