Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, cigar box, lavender and cedar scents. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with cacao, floral and oaky notes. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, floral, oak and earthy mineral character. Very Nice! Good now but wait about 6 years!! Tasting Sample from restaurant friends!!

93-96 rang for upside here. Great, but needs more time. The Ranch is what to drink now from Snowden of the 2018s. Put these away for a few more years and they should be the better of the two. Classy cab, elegant and a little closed today, but all the potential is there. Currants, cherries, cassis, this leans to classic Napa ala 70s-8os with more clarity, precision and acidity. Tannin is youthful and structured. Oak is there but perfectly integrated, frames the whole package on the nose and the palate.

Blackberries, black cherries, dried lavender, eucalyptus, empty cigar box, tobacco ashes. High acidity, soft tannins - coarse stronger than Los Ricos. According to Randy this was full on cigar box just four months ago when he opened it but now it mellowed. Critics say drink 2023-2038.
