Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady is a powerful, intense wine that is going to need a bit of time to come together, as it was bottled just a few weeks before this tasting. A rush of dark red cherry, pomegranate, menthol and orange peel gives the wine a somewhat exotic profile, but it is the wine's structure and overall balance that stand out most. For all of its obvious intensity, the Sleeping Lady is an especially polished 2015. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2018) — 7 years ago

Chardonnay, Russian River Valley. Unctuous, sleek and full bodied all at the same time. Gotta love the deft acidity, fresh fruit and rich toasty oak. — 9 years ago

It's Racer 5 times three! Seriously, if you like Racer 5 and you aren't a big baby about a little higher ABV, you will love this. Can you taste the alcohol? Yes. Is it something to complain about? Yes...if you happen to be up past your bedtime you big baby. — 10 years ago

Zaca Mesa

Black Bear Block Syrah 2014

This will only get better with age and it’s already terrific. The biggest takeaway for me was the lingering taste of hot chocolate mix; subtle but undeniable. The bouquet is stuffed with cedar shavings, the dark fruit is strong but not obnoxious and the tannins coat the tongue, rather than attack it. — 7 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Muschelkalk Pinot Noir 2014

This wine is a stand alone gem. Very difficult to read and closed and may be too light and disappointing right now but that is deceiving. I am collecting these wines and they are ridiculously good with age. Currently available only from Crush or Chambers or Winfield Flynn in New York. I also tasted the 2015 in barrel 3 weeks ago which in the barrel is a flat out 10. The 2014 is chalky and herbaceous very subdued. The power and elegance of this wine is hidden right now almost like a sleeping giant. — 9 years ago
