N: class. Breeding. Smells expensive. Deep but not over the top. Pencil shavings. Peeking florals. More as it opens.

P: silky. Perfect sweet cherry fruit. Hint of bitter. Delicious. But elegant. Long. Juicy.

9.0

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

Strong nose of red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, stewed cherries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light earth, coffee, herbs and spices.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 6 year old Pinot Noir from Carneros is still drinking nicely, although will not last long, so drink up.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Fruit forward and easy drinking, and good right out of the bottle.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 9 months. Unfiltered.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, aluminum and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 4 year old from the problematic 2020 vintage is drinking beautifully now. Feels like a Napa Cabernet with an old world twist. Interesting stuff.

This Single Vineyard is fruit forward and rich. Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

Tasty and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Sangiovese and 25% Malbec. Aged in French oak barrels for 22 months. Unfiltered. A small production of only 1,700 bottles.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

Ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with light cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, currants, cherries, chocolates, light cedar, herbs, peppercorn and black licorice.

Tangy finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Napa Cabernet. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
Better after 45 minutes of airtime when the tannins show up, and bring in good structure.

Still young, but very approachable already. A good entry level Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Paired nicely with a cheese board.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 12 months in (50% new) French and American Oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral and mineral notes. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with citrus wrapped in a smooth nutty spice texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, spice and savory citrus character. Nice value! — 2 years ago

2023 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Love me some SLD cabbage. Medium-medium heavy body. Earthy, loamy, cocoa powdery nose. Striated richness throughout with sleek raspberry and baking chocolate accents. Wow. Phenomenal shizz. Picked up a 3-pack. Top 5 Napa new vintage cab tasted in 2025 (and tasted waay too many new Best In Show wannabe's this year). 09.25.25. — 9 months ago
