The Joy Fantastic

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Absolutely fantastic! Fruit has fallen and given way to savory notes on the nose. Thyme, oregano, baking spices , nutmeg, tomato bisque. Great acidity and fruit lingering. Almost a bramble note of rhubarb and cherry pie. Astonishingly well balanced and huge at 13.6% — 2 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

BV grapes were first planted back in 1900, by founder Georges de Latour. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon & 6% Petit Verdot. A Wow factor wine!! Outstanding! Deep dense red with complex berry fruit aromas adding in toasty floral spice. On the palate big full flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet plum flavors with licorice and cacao, adding cedar and cacao notes. Soft velvet tannins, young, lingering finish, well integrated and nicely balanced, a joy to drink. Will age a long time. Wait, don’t be tempted — 8 years ago
