Judge Palmer

Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

11' Judge Palmer Beckstoffer Georges III. Santa Rivard, you can shimmy down my chimney anytime with this little jewel. In all seriousness, thank you very much! Have to agree with @Ron R maraschino cherries on the nose. The palate- Getting rich dark berries, vanilla/oak. A peppery herb mix throughout the palate. Sweet tobacco & cassis on the back of the palate. What a savory & nice finish. @Martin G Rivard 👏 — 8 years ago

Silencieux Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I found this to be a very enjoyable wine. I was hoping for a little bit more Oak. I'm not quite sure how it would evolve over time. I always find these to be a great pop and pour wine. I never hang on to them too long in my cellar.
I would love feedback from anyone that has aged some of these to see how they evolve.

@Ron R 2008 Lamborn Gamily Vineyards
As we all know., Ron is insanely great at posting the absolute best tasting notes!! I'm not really sure how to begin describing a wine that he's already talked about BUT what the hell...I'll give it a shot! Here it goes:
EVERYTHING that he said was True.
Good night 👌🍷🍷👌
Just kidding! I'm not letting you off that easy!
This was was Insanely Focused. Decanted 2 hours and it was just beginning to reveal itself. My 1st time ever enjoying this Heidi project. The Howell Fruit is amazing. Focused with globs of depth and concentration. I love the initial explosion of Berry & I think dark cherries??...,,all nicely wrapped in a beautiful Oak blanket! I love the mid palate and finish. I told Ron., if this was a song it would be the bohemian Rhapsody. Perfectly orchestrated., it lifts you up., brings you down and takes forever to finish!! Ok., I gave it all I've got Captain! Lol

@Jody Scharf, one day, I'll fall short with my proposals. Yours are great, too. You taste some outstanding stuff and I calibrate from your notes. So, feelings are mutual my friend!

Intoxicating! Nose is gorgeous. Flirty, swirling aromas of red raspberry, sour cherry, subtle vanilla, anise, clove... It doesn't quit. A firm bite, a bit grippy, but incredible age ability. — 10 years ago
