Blueberry

Bryant Family Vineyard

Proprietor Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Needed about an hour of air, but then simply mind-blowing. Cassis and dark leathery notes, blueberry reduction, round and nicely resolved at this point. Years to go but no need to wait if you have access to a decanter… Superb. — 19 days ago

Wow. Closed nose but bright blueberry hits your palate first followed by a rush of dark and robust flavors to stand up to the ribeyes. — 5 months ago

Stags' Leap Winery

Napa Valley Merlot 2018

Brooding ruby color with a slight brick rim. The aromas vary as the wine opens up. Starts with blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit with hints of red and purple flowers then evolves with touches of leather and a slight bit of pyrazine. The pallet leads with the same fruits (not overbearing) with additional notes of chocolate and roasted nuts. Medium bodied with nice dusty tannins. Nicely made and well balanced. I honestly thought it was a Zinfandel. Thank you for sharing this one, John P. — 6 months ago

D 66 Côtes Catalanes Grenache Blend 2009

9.3

As one can expect for a Dave Phinney wine, this is rich and ripe, but it has so much more to offer at year 14. Blueberry, fig, tobacco, cracked pepper, dried mushroom, and slight hint of barnyard. On the palate it’s juicy yet soft and ultra smooth. The finish is long, candied, and earthy.
My 2nd and last bottle. At its peak.

Secondary flavors are fruitier, with blueberry, plum, cherry, vanilla and toasted oak. Long finish with vanilla, florals and berry. Elegant, complex, rich, full bodied and outstanding. — 4 months ago

The Boxer Shiraz 2020

Bold dark purple color, typical of a concentrated AUS Shiraz. Bright and fresh in color.

To the nose, it gives a full range of fresh berries (blackberry, blueberry) and slightly pepper ending. Mid to mature dark and red flowers bouquet. Nice, fresh and bold nose.

In mouth, it is dry, intense, persistent, and mid-tannic. Alcohol is not the main character, even it is highly alcoholic (16%). Fruit remains in the mouth finish. Certainly it is a ‘punch’ of fruit to the nose/mouth
