Nice red color with an intense berry flavor — a year ago
Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.
It was my first time trying Moone-Tsai wines aside from their widely distributed Napa Valley Cab, so some of these were totally brand new to me. Melka is the winemaker.
Much more rich and dark fruited compared to the Howell Mountain. This is a blend of vineyards from Pritchard Hill, Caldwell (Coombsville) and St Helena. Very Pritchard Hill like on the nose with herbal crunch, savory graphite and cassis, oozing blackberries and cherry liqueur. Once on the palate, it channels its Coombsville fruit displaying a touch of licorice, candied blue and black fruits, baking spices and espresso. Big, but slightly more approachable than the Howell. — 4 years ago
was the star of a recent testing of Carmenere wines. my first experience with this varietal on its own. quite pleasant -no flaws - seamless in structure fruits and tannins doing their job — 2 years ago
Vino rojo-purpura con destellos violetas muy brillantes, en nariz resalta la ciruela negra antes de ser pasa y los frutos rojos, la pimienta, el romero, detectó cardamomo, hierbabuena y un poco de tostado, en boca muy aterciopelado (casi cosquilloso), taninos medios y chocolate negro (de los finos) y un final largo. Lo acompañe con un corte rib-eye prime grueso, espárragos, queso maduro y un jamón ibérico de bellota y todo marido delicioso — 4 years ago
Vino que a mi consideración pagas poco por un gran vino, si estás empezando en el mundo de el vino, este es una de las mejores opciones para dar un siguiente paso. Excelente para comida mexicana como tacos, enchiladas, enmoladas, flautas de pollo o res....casi toda la mexicana — 4 years ago
