Veraison Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Super tannic and long finish. Dark color, so much oak it has to be decanted — 4 days ago

Saxon-Brown

Durell Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

2018 vintage. A little muted and that’s coming from a producer not exactly noted for being flashy. Wanted a small, flourishing concession somewhere but wasn’t getting it. 7.3.24. — 3 months ago

Krupp Brothers

The Doctor Napa Valley Red Blend 2004

2004 vintage. Decanted with very little sed and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Initial richness in the frontal palate but the mid-palate decided to nap. Finish glided along without speed bumps. Really nice but not great. 7.19.24. — 3 months ago

@Doug Powers I purchased a case of that for $32 a bottle direct from Australia. The first 5-6 years they drank exactly as you described. I thought time would help them calm down so I stashed them away and they all went downhill. Happy your bottles turned out well.

Brothers Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, cigar box, lavender and cedar scents. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with cacao, floral and oaky notes. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, floral, oak and earthy mineral character. Very Nice! Good now but wait about 6 years!! Tasting Sample from restaurant friends!! — 2 months ago
