Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Winemaker dinner at Nari. This was clearly young and tasted next to the 2011 missing the depth of maturity — 12 days ago

It’s just too young. The older 2011 version was excellent.

They make a brilliant cab, too, as I’m sure you are aware…

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and hints of red licorice. Cherry and cola on the palate, with a black tea finish. Paired nicely with pulled pork sandwiches.

I think Hahn's "special" productions deserve some love.

Rivers-Marie

Panek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Resolved tannins, and well balanced. However the fruit was just too over the top for me. Think blackberry shake. — 19 days ago

We had the 2019 Vintage on 7/26-27/25. Nice bouquet and palate of black cherry, strawberry and cardomom. Beautiful mouthfeel. New World. Would easily buy more. Classic tastes and aromas of SLH. — 24 days ago
