#AgedWineTuesday
Deep ruby in color with a short reddish/ brick rim. Not showing much age.
Beautiful nose of indian spices, cedar, vanilla, chocolates and herbs.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 20 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is just gorgeous now. Fruit forward and rich. Extracted and interesting. Loved the nose here.
I did not decant it, and left it to open up in the bottle. Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

Probably peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Gorgeous stuff. I just love these Napa Bordeaux blends.
Good by itself as a sipping wine to share with good friends. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak too.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 22 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is dark, supple and super-expressive. It shows higher ripeness and a stronger oak imprint than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Even so, it has aged very well. Dark plum, espresso, licorice, sweet spice and a kiss of toasted French oak lend notable complexity throughout. In this tasting, ripeness and new oak feel accented, certainly more so than when this wine was younger. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)

Something different and unexpected - equal parts Marsanne and Roussanne, with 28% Viognier. Lightly colored cream shaded pearls with delicate oak laced aromas and a surprisingly full body.
More floral than fruity - Peach, lychee, and white flowers. A restrained elegance that doesn't quite equal up to the sum of its parts. — a month ago
