06’ Stormy Weather Cabernet. Winemaker Cameron Woodbridge, brother of Jason (Hundred Acre)
Sourced from Jericho Canyon. Ramey & Rudd had sourced it in prior years.

Blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate. A splash of blue fruits. Sweet tannins. Nice Cab. Drink them up.

Definitely taste the mocha & chocolate.
Not sure if it's my cup of tea. Just popped and poured. Needs some time in my glass but who's got that much time?!?!

It takes a lot to drive me towards the 9.5 but this one goes there and beyond. Put down whatever you are doing and get a bottle. The longest finish to a wine I have ever tasted, just goes on and on, amazing. Oak, caramel, mocha, blackberry, currants and spice on the nose. Incredibly smooth tannins in the mouth and then a journey through dark berries, spice, bubble gum, cassis and chocolate. Decanted for an hour, others say it needs more, so will try and save some to see what happens but I'm not making any promises.

Second night and even better. If you've got some, hang on to it for a few years.

Big...big. Super extracted pucker up and enjoy Mr. Woodbridge's monster. No this is not fortified but... 2009 that still need plenty of aging. Bright red fruit
