Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Insignia Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2003
Wine Spectator’s wine of the year for 2005. A lovely bold wine to open on Father’s Day thanks to my husband in his great care of aging the wine in our cellar. A dark red blueberry floral and cassis on the nose. Bursts of black cherry plum on initial taste and lingers with cedar coffee and some chocolate. Long finish with complex layers. Can’t wait to see how it opens up. Happy Father’s day to my wonderful husband! — 3 days ago
Spoto Wines
Oakville Cuvée Christiane Red Blend 2016
Opened a wonderful fully body 2016 Cuvée. A blend mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon some Malbec and Cab Franc. from Spoto Family Vineyards here in our hometown, Sacramento CA. Color dark red black fruit. The nose definitely is dark plum cherry with chocolate spice, and subtle hints of vanilla and cedar. Dark cherry fruits burst in your mouth, lingers with spice and flora fruits and finishes with a lovely vanilla tobacco taste at the back of the tongue. — 4 days ago
