Napa Valley Red Blend 2012

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A beautiful dark magenta color. On the nose: Subdued notes of dark fruit, tobacco leaf, herbaceous, charred wood, pencil shavings. Taste: silky, layered wine with dark cherry/plum, earth, iron, smoke, graphite, and a peppery mineral dark chocolate medium plus finish. YUM!!! โ€” a month ago

Experiment N1.4 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2014

Last of the weekend Ovids and exactly what I was referring to in other posts. The Experiment reds are generally fantastic. Bold and rich and unique. @Matt Duncan these last two wines are what makes Ovid special. โ€” 6 years ago

Melanson Vineyard Matthew's Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

What a vintage on Pritchard Hill! This is THE go to in this zip code (way under The neighbors are Ovid & Colgin. I canโ€™t believe this is 7 years from vintage - itโ€™s still very young with lots of currant and blueberry with mocha. Tannins kick in in the mid palate and a lengthy finish. With a rack of lamb - proof God loves us! โ€” 6 years ago

Experiment W6.9 White Wine 2019

This is 2019 Ovid Experiment W6.9.
I have really been looking forward to trying this one (my first Ovid white!), and this gorgeous sunny day presented me ample time to sit on the patio and contemplate it! Bright tropical notes on the nose. But I think the real beauty is the texture. Itโ€™s like a flower blossoming on your tongue. The floral bouquet of the Rhone varietals makes a strong appearance mid palate.

Experiment L2.2 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

Still young in the bottle and almost inky in color. The merlot in the blend softens the tannins considerably. Slightly more acidic than the standard red blend which complemented my rare ribeye cap steak beautifully. โ€” 6 years ago
