Red, resinous currant with a licorice twist. Warm blackberry, dark toast, vanilla, cedar and sweet tabac seamlessly tailored, even at such a young age. Fresh gingerbread oven, too. Silk suit of tannins; loose stitching. Wound tightly showing sinewy potential and a Christmas cactus of sutured fruits bursting at the seams with liquid graphite and black currant reduction with fresh cassis and olive berry. Violets, treacle and black tea. Onyx train of a witch bride all the way down Howell mountain! #Dunn #DunnVineyards #napacab #napacabernet #Napa #howellmountain #howell #howellmtn #mountainwine #cabernetacademy #cabernetday #cabernetsauvignon #californiaclassic — 6 years ago

Drank at Christmas Eve dinner at the McCarrons. With steak and baked potatoes. Very cab-y. Pepper, green pepper. Tannic but not overwhelmingly so. Medium on body and acidity. — 5 years ago
Seriously, Malibu. Do you have to use an inch of wax to seal every bottle? You're really making me work for this one. Ripe black cherry and baking spice entices the nose. Young bright and fun on the palate. It's definitely equipped for aging across the decade. Just have a machete handy to bust through that wax. Paired tonight's offering with a massive rare tomahawk steak. Nom nom. — 6 years ago
Medium to light golden yellow. A touch of oak on the nose with some citrus, hay and stone fruits. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and rounded palate. Medium to medium plus body with crisp and bright acidity. A little bit of cream in the backend of the palate with citrus zest up front. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2020.| Sample — 7 years ago

Low $, low alcohol, crazy good - take a swig👣🕶🍷
She’s a country sort casual, cool, in a simplistic seductive red dress showing voluptuous skin draped and contrasted in a purple sarong-like shawl clinging to her shoulders and rim, earthen, perhaps a tinge of wood maybe leather surely more than lace, somewhat feral playing around swirling, twirling ”dazzling dancing half enchanted,” I pull her close, breathing in her deep essence, I spin her left then right taking her close to the edge as she spills over wetting my lips into my mouth drifting slowly clinging unctuous and warm, she takes her time, deeper, as an errant drop drips from the corner of my mouth her ruby round essence slides down my pectoral finding linen, landing marking the moment - the music changes and I am reminded to take another hit, blue and red berries - musky blueberry and cherry. We dance all night. I get her name, her number and take her home ... “ohhhh what a niiight...” (vintage Dells and this sexy rough around the edges fine thing) hanging @ the Beau paddle dock on Taylor’s Creek during this the Season of The Witch - drink up and enjoy✌🏽💙💚☀️🌊👣🕶🍂🎃🎼🍷🌀 — 6 years ago
Strega is an interesting Italian liqueur...better described below. I only sporadically enjoy it, but it's fun and tasty at each sip.
"Strega is an herbal, saffron-infused liqueur deeply tied to the secret world of witchcraft. Witches are said to convene in Benevento to perform rituals and honor Il Noce, the sacred walnut tree. (The lower part of the logo shows witches dancing with demons around Il Noce.) According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti, son of a grocer, saved a witch from falling out of a tree in the woods. In gratitude, she gave him the recipe for an elixir, which the Alberti family began selling in 1860, perhaps as a curative or restorative.
The liqueur's proprietary recipe is a mix of 70 herbs and spices which include Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, Samnite mint, fennel, and saffron. Saffron is the key to Strega's signature yellow color and it shares the spotlight with mint and juniper as the most pronounced flavors within the herbal mixture." — 6 years ago

Rustic, earthy, succulent but never clumsy or overbearing. This has soul and that distinct “nourishing” character one finds in the great traditional wines of the world. Muddled cherry, wet leaves, damp forest, ceps, juniper, witch hazel, wilted flowers, beets, warm spice. — 4 years ago
