9.0

Vines planted on steep marly limestone slopes. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits and mineral notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with herb citrus notes. Full ripe tannins, medium+ finish, balanced acidity, good structure, ending with zesty wet stone and pepper spice character. Should age for next 5-7 years. — 4 years ago

Wow, just wow.

Part of the blend comes from vines planted in 1923, another part from vines planted in the 50s—specially from a parcel comprised of all 7 varieties (supposedly more). Exquisitely light and balanced but with dozens of really interesting flavors — mandarin orange, pipe tobacco, sandalwood, flint, golden and red apple, marzipan, vanilla along with the usual melange of berries and chalk. It’s all about the poise, finesse and structure on this one though—like a gymnast nailing a dismount. Also, not bad with jalapeño poppers (or “muncher peppers” as they’re called on the Glue Pot’s English menu). — 2 years ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a great, soft mouthfeel.

Dry on the palate and full-bodied. Smooth and elegant with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee, cedar, vanilla, licorice and black pepper.

This 7 year old is drinking very nicely now and will continue to age nicely in the next five to seven years.

This Single Vineyard needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so give it time.

Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel. Spicy, soft and smooth. Fruit forward and rich.

Aged for 36 months in French oak barrels.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

2003 vintage. Wow this wine is singing! Gotta be right in its prime now. Soft silky tannins but still with just a bit of an edge. Blue fruit and cassis galore. So we’ll integrated and structured. Getting hints of tertiary flavors of leather and tobacco. Medium plus finish. Great luscious mouthfeel. — 2 years ago
