Heidi’s own cab label. Lovely expression of a blend. Needs more time n the bottle. Eclipsed by the prior tastings. Still excellent. Leave this for another 3 years.
Another stellar gift from
@Mike R and Rhonda’s cellar 😚

When you pop one and decant and then taste you never really know what to expect but gratefully my family on Delectable has helped me so much - I know it is holidays speaking but we have so much as a group to thankful for - to you and yours - have a glorious holiday

This wine has been resting for a long time - I have decided to start drinking wines that I was storing as I cannot take them with me so Dilly Dilly

What a wine what a wine what a mighty good wine

Dark purplish red as is the season - when I taste I immediately smile and laugh with hohoho sound - the smell is amazing with all the kitchen sink ingredients but somehow I smell mistletoe and cinnamon - ''tis the season again" - and the finish is long like when you watch a big snowflake fall from the sky - it takes forever and ever

Starting my annual Christmas wine journey and again thank you folks for making the wine taste even better with your likes and comments - more wine to come tonight and tomorrow

Smiling for so many reasons and happy holiday

Dark ruby, lovely bouquet, and oh, so romantic black currant, and arabica notes. Since Nickel and Nickel's Far Niente, Napa hadn't felt so special.
Just beautiful!
