Monsieur Ètain Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Opened this last night as well since I knew it was day 2 wine.
The Mascot & this M-Etain even on day 2 need Steak 🥩 so I’m doing a quick thaw and Sous Vide & sear. So I probably shouldn’t have scored until I had the beef ready. Oh well, I’ll up the score if my thinking is correct.

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Took awhile to open but once it did this is a pretty decent Cab - nose is full of fruit - blackberries - palate is a little sparkly, slightly underwhelms vs the nose but still solid — 2 months ago

Freemark Abbey

Bosché Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Double decant for sediment(lots of chunky sediment) and pour. A remarkable dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: expressive perfumed notes of cherry, currants, dark olives, worn leather, wet forest floor, smoked meat. Taste: silky, savory, elegant wine with fading dried cherries, tobacco, dark chocolate, bell pepper, earth, and a nice mineral, espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Never disappointed with well aged Bosche or Sycamore wines — a month ago

Have come across some nice buys on their library wines lately. This was one of them.

Rutherford Hill

Napa Valley Merlot

Wine Spectator rated the ‘21 with an impressive 93 points and this Merlot was featured as #25 on the Top 100 wines of 2024.

flavor notes include blackberry, dark, cherry cedar, and that earthy Napa finish

I recommend this read to anyone who can find the 2021 vintage. Perhaps other years too.
