Paysan Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

6 person cab tasting this was a lot of people’s first place or tied for first I absolutely love this wine matches my pallet too big berrys on the start that turns into some earthy and green bell pepper type notes on the mid and back end a absolute steal for its price — a month ago

Drank 3/26/23

On the nose honeycomb, apple pie, and a hint of pineapple. Flavors of honey drizzled pound cake, and roasted pineapple, and creme Brule. Finish is medium. I don't think this will gain much as it ages, but should hang on for several years.

3/23/9/4/3 +50 = 92 pts.

Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Brand (Turckheim) Grand Cru Riesling 2005

Really a wonderful old Riesling. Last had 2 years ago and I think this is our last bottle. The color in the glass is amazing. The palate matches - so deep and rich but still with balance. Was probably overall better 2 years ago as more of the acid was still there but this is still excellent. — 3 months ago

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one.

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, violets, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberry pie, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, herbs, vanilla, spices, chocolates and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 6 year old Napa Cabernet is still young, but already very enjoyable, even by itself. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward, but calm.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

Very flowery once it opens up. I liked the nose better than the palate. A very enjoyable wine.

This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in French oak barrels (40% new) for 26 months. A tiny production of only 5 barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$95.

20/26 Vigneti delle Dolomiti Rosé

Pinot + Merlot + Lagrein = a mere 2.5g/l sugar and high acidity. A lovely rosé from the Dolomites. The richness is something I don’t see except in the warmest Provence years. Very good… could be a go-to summer rosé. — 3 years ago
