The Vice Wines The Millennial Batch #96 Multi Vintage, California

Dark purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Sweet nose of blackberries, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, cola, licorice, chocolates, coffee, herbs and peppercorn.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, dried figs, vanilla, cola, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn and mocha.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Petite Sirah blend from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a smooth mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime, when tannins and structure come in.

Easy drinking and good for parties. Might be too fruity for some.

An interesting blend of 63% Petite Sirah (from Mount Veeder), 21% Malbec, 8% Primitivo, 7% Tempranillo and 1% Charbono. Aged in French oak barrels (29% new) for over a year. Only 720 cases made.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Optio Vineyards Geneseo District Tempranillo 2020, Paso Robles, California

Dark ruby in color, almost inky, with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, chocolates, coffee, black pepper, pencil lead and herbs.

Full bodied and very smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, oak, licorice, vanilla, herbs, light earth, cola, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Tempranillo from Paso Robles. Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

Shows great structure with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Spicy and rich. Opulent and tasty. Feels like a Napa Merlot.

Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Easy drinking and good by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

I paired it with a nice piece of Ribeye steak.

Aged for 17 months in (40% new) oak barrels. A tiny production of only 720 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Nose features apple and stone fruit - mouthwatering acidity on the palate, great texture and a long finish. 720 cases produced so a lovely TX rarity. — 2 years ago

Nose has partially oxidized red apple peel, lightly buttered & toasted brioche, moist limestone gravel and day old lemon zest.

Palate has red apple, lemon, dried cherry, lemon pith, (light) dried strawberry with a rich and long finish. Oak aging is not obtuse, but subdued and complimentary. What a great bottle, still young with years ahead!

100% Pinot Meunier | 100% Damery fruit | 100% Oak-aged (Damery sourced oak)
