Platinum Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts (6%) of Merlot and Malbec blended in. Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry/currants, violets and toffee. The palate is also black fruit focused with additional flavors of chocolate, black licorice and black pepper. Touch of vanilla and fresh herbs on the medium length finish. The tannins have smoothed out and the acidity is quite bright. More medium bodied and subtly sweet. Easy drinker. — 2 years ago

Grand Cru Sommerberg Riesling 2017

Gor
9.2

Clear, medium gold with nice with nice unncharacteristic legs given away high alcohol content for a Riesling. Nose of medium+ intensity, primary, developing. Honeysuckle, peach and hint of melon on the nose. Off dry palate with high acidity offsetting the medium+ body. Leads to a medium+ finish. Juicy, concentrated and flavorful now but should develop some interesting secondary notes adding to complexity down the line. — 5 years ago

Would need a sharp cheddar. Repeat depending on price

Napa Valley Merlot 2014

It's time for #MerlotThursday!

Dark ruby in color with a nice reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cherries, toast, licorice, vanilla, cedar, mocha, coffee, chocolates, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, cherries, raspberries, wood, licorice, vanilla, earth, spices, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Napa Merlot is always enjoyable. Well balanced with mild complexity and a nice tangy finish. Lately, I'm really into Napa Merlots.

Good right out of the bottle and gets better in 30 minutes. Peeking now.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers, and will pair very nicely with BBQ Meats as well.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$20.

Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot)

Les Vaucopins Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Darker yellow than typical Chablis; good nose of wet grass and lighter fruit with some oak. Very smooth but much more of a Chardonnay taste than Chablis; a touch buttery, apple & pear flavor- a full bodied white. — 5 years ago
