Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

To me, this smells and tastes like a late-70s, old school Napa Cab. Very dark color. Nose charges out of the gates with cassis, olives, dark green pungent herbs, gravel, and a little iodine. Approachable (and enjoyable) already on the palate. Sure, it’s a bit tannic but they’re soft, with mouth-coating savory flavors. None of that damn chocolateyness I don’t like (which seems near-ubiquitous now in Napa Cabs), and zero jamminess. What a value (I got it for $39) for a very tasty and true-to-type Napa Cab. — 3 days ago

That’s a great price! I saw one of their cuvées (I think it was estate) at Costco at a similar price point and I think it’s an outstanding value for one of the OG “Judgement of Paris” wines.

Capricho Val de Paxarinas Bierzo Godello

Always find myself enjoying Godello when I have it - need to seek it out more. This one is on the more giving side, with lots of lemony fruitiness. Incredible crunchy acid texture. Definitely mouth puckering (in a good way) and with a lingering finish that has that jolly rancher quality. — a month ago

On my last trip to Barcelona I remember having the same thoughts about Godello

Rías Baixas Albariño 2023

"La Val" is Spanish for "The Val." And we are drinking La Val with our friend Val. So, it's all coming together.
