Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby red color with aromas of dark fruits, herbs and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum with vanilla, spice and herbs. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy mineral tones. — 12 days ago

For what it’s trying to do, and at the price, it’s really fucking good.

Dry with some nice suddle peachy sweetness on the front. — 3 months ago

Luckily, this bottle was on par again.
Freshness of juicy fresh fruit, just-enough-acidity and a mineral twist combined with creamy Napa-richesse of warm pastry, vanilla and a hint of caramelfudge. — 5 months ago

This is a “wifey” rating…
Caramel and butterscotch notes on the nose and palate. Roasted pineapples and limes present on the mid palate, with a note of preserved citrus fruits. Evolving to a better place as it warms up in the glass. Getting better with bottle age. — 3 months ago

Big, rich, tannic Syrah. This needs 5+ years (at least) of additional cellaring, long finish, great potential!! — 4 months ago

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 1.5 hours. Medium body. Excellent, dark color. Some leaner fruits balanced with earth and spices. On the prettier side of the ledger currently. 1.2.26. — 3 months ago

Visual tells you that this is a mature example. Nose presents olives peaches. Palate is all about macerated olives and briny notes. Nice delicate nutmeg and roasted nut notes combine with ripe white fruits and moderate sweetness. I love the Hudson vineyard so wanted to take a look at this. We got to this a little too late, but it’s still excellent. Its pedigree shines thru. — 7 months ago
