Dark garnet color. Aromas of earth, tobacco, dried dark cherries/raspberries, menthol, dried rose petals and violets. The palate is more dark fruit driven (black cherry/raspberry/plum) with hints of forest floor and minerals. Touch of Brett and oak on the long and tingly finish. Nicely structured with fine grained tannins. Crisp acidity and medium bodied. The tertiary notes take the lead. Gets better as it opens up. — 5 months ago

Disgorged 01/2020 - Lovely tonight with Popeye’s spicy chicken. Vibrant and youthful with plenty of acidity and good weight, it is enjoyable now but lots of life remaining. — 7 months ago

Picked this up a few months ago from the state store when I saw Louis Dressner. Seems different from the only other fleurie I’ve had. Lots of earth juice with raspberry. — 3 years ago

Excellent but may have let it age too long. Expected to like this more than the ulises Valdez but did not. Still very good and complex and would get again — 4 years ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep ink color with a short purple rim and a beautiful nose.

Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry and very fruity on the palate, with nice complexity.

Showing blueberries, plums, cooked cherries, cola, raisins, figs, chocolates, dark coffee, cedar, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus and peppercorn.

This 10 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking so beautifully now. Rich and extracted, with a soft mouthfeel. Fruit forward and engaging.

Needs an hour to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 98 points.

Complex and good by itself. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak. A gorgeous wine.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$260. — 7 months ago

Light but powerful. Medium straw color. Complex aromas and flavors of green apple, pear, lemon/lime zest, white flowers, freshly baked bread. A slight mineral note on the oaky (quite noticeable) finish. Medium bodied and creamy texture. Crisp acidity. A bit of tension. — 9 months ago
