The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019
Didn’t even know they made 375’s

Moonracer Cabernet Sauvignon
My son says it’s a 98-99pt. I’m saying 97 since I wanted a bit more of a finish punch. With just a bit of air this opened up wonderfully. Really great wine, plush on the mouth, rich and strong cab flavors. — 2 months ago

The Bard Red Wine 2019
A tannic monster with so much potential. Riveting presentation. — 4 months ago
with Anne-marie
Tannic in a great way. I love the texture and tension that bold tannins bring. Reminds me of Goldilocks: If the porridge is warm, she’s gonna eat it 😀
@Ron R Actually have a halfsie of this laying around (a gift from 2023 holidaze). Not like it's going bad soon but may hafta crack it for giggles.
No rush @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

The Tempest Napa Valley Red Blend 2019
I’m a Tempest fan but others preferred The Bard. Young but fantastic. Could have spent more time opening but too many people for that. Magnum. — 3 months ago

Farella Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
This extremely young Napa Cabernet is big and tannic.
Fruit forward and already complex, with black fruits and chocolate notes.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
Needs many years to mature properly.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
94 points. — 5 months ago

2019 vintage. From a 375 ml format. Amongst what passes for the ne plus ultra in Napa cabbage these days. Rich. Overtly sumptuous. Modicum of umami on the finish. Restrained/polite company version of a fruit bomb. Too extracted/manipulated without representative tannins for this old-school Dunn/Diamond Creek/Mayacamas/Montelena guy but still verry nice for this style. Dunno where this settles in twenty years but that's someone else's problem down the road. 7.7.24. — 19 days ago
