Rich, sweet oak, intense dark fruits, also shows some heat (14.5%), this is a serious Aussie Shiraz that screams for at least another decade of aging (as @Bob McDonald has said previously), drinking this tonight feels like robbing the cradle??!! — a month ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Sierra Foothills in California.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, black licorice, chocolates, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.

Spicy and rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and delicious.

Showing great complexity already, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet with a touch of Bordeaux.

Showing lots of black licorice notes on the palate, which I loved, not much on the nose though.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years. A good quality wine.

Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (50% new) American oak barrels for 19 months. A tiny production of only 4 barrels. Unfiltered.

15.3% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Rich and textured cherries, dark plums and blackberries possibly makes for the best qpr ever at $28/btl. Needs some time for the wood to integrate. Revisit in 2-3yrs. — 5 years ago

Medium lemon color with aromas of tropical, stone and citrus fruits adding mineral notes, aged 10 months in 28% new oak. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach and lemon citrus wrapped in smooth spicy tones. Long finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, notes of flinty mineral and savory citrus character. Nice! — 2 years ago

Neon pink in color with a peach hue.

Fruity nose and dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Showing dark cherries, raspberries, strawberries, limes, green apples and light spices.

Tangy finish with limes and light almonds.

This is a tasty Rosé from Sonoma County. Crisp and refreshing. Easy drinking and a good food wine.

Opened August 28 2021 on our 35th anniversary. We had brought this bottle back from champagne in the 1990s and kept in the cellar. Magnum was in perfect condition and distinguished pop with golden color and fine hue and brut taste —a couple years less than our wedding but still going strong. — 4 years ago
