Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon

I’m like a broken record on this wine. So consistent. So good! In the $65 range, this is tough to improve on.

Such a brilliant effort. No more prose required.

Tasted many times in the recent past - sublime showing. We love this producer since he produced a great wine at a very reasonable price - @ Keste Pizzeria on Bleecker St, NYC.

We love everything about this wine.

This was a random, lonely bottle in my cellar and it was a Napa Cab sort of night so figured it was as good a time as any to give this a whirl. Besides, a few of my friends had recently made some comments about how well the 2015’s were showing so it was only more incentive to open this.

We pulled the cork a couple of hours prior and consumed over a several hour period. No formal notes. The first impression is “holy smokes this is absolutely packed with sweet, ripe fruits”. It was shocking. The quality of the fruit is seriously high…a black and red fruit combo with some baking spices…but it’s so jammy and primary that I couldn’t pull much more from it. Tannins were medium. Acid was medium/medium-. The texture is silky smooth. Finish is long-ish due to the mouth-coating fruit. Ultimately however, I struggled to fully enjoy this due to wonderful fruit being let down by the lack of structure which left it coming across a bit flabby. That being said, this style is intentional and arguably very popular. Drink now.

This showed exceptionally well! I thought the 15s might have already lost their steam but clearly not.

Had side by side with the Outpost cab! This thing held its own and then some... smooth as silk with sweet, ripe tannins and tons of black and blue fruits! @Mike Smith great work!

This is starting to gain a bit of complexity and is exiting its early youth. Very nice!

Came across a little overly sweet tonight

Happy 4th! One of my favs but at this tender age, this fair lass is showing her age. I enjoyed her youthful exuberance.
