Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Tried the 2018 Cabernet yesterday, nice on opening but closed down quite quickly. But I popped it off the truck so thats to be expected. I’ll rate the 2nd bottle after a long hold.
This one is a different story at only $20.00 more. Great for having only a 1 day hold,
Winery notes,

Keeping with the theme of expansion, we added another block of older vines from Larkmead in 2018. Neighboring our original block of Olmo clone is a tiny block of Jenkins clone Cabernet resting in the same Cortina soil. We have always loved this clone of Cabernet having worked with it at Outpost’s True Vineyard and Gemstone Estate. There’s nothing else quite like it in the world of Cabernet. It manages to be both exotic and wildly singular while still coming across as very complete. It has proven to be a very nice complement to what we’ve been working with from Larkmead since 2012. The color here is a bit darker than normal with mostly fruit tones first present on the nose. That familiar muscular walnut husk, roasted nut quality of Larkmead pokes through quickly though placing this wine stylistically in more of a classic era of California wine. Where in the past this wine could be considered the “lightest” of the lineup, the 2018 shows the power of the vintage and a marked improvement from the addition of the new block. The fruit is still purple leaning and the ethereal notes of the past still pop out on palate entry but a weightier middle kicks in almost immediately with notes of sage, graphite, cassis, lavender and a brambly spice note. The tannin starts earlier too adding texture and a dusty, baker’s chocolate note. In the past, I felt this bottling would always need a few years in the cellar to present a complete palate expression. Not so here with the addition of our little Jenkins block. All these additional blending options from all these great sites prove in 2018 that sometimes more is more.

Can always count on you to take one for the team right off the truck, @Paul T- Huntington Beach! Solid score on this, but disappointing to hear about the Napa.

Napa just needs time, it was experimental with both of these. Not opening the Lore or Herb Lamb anytime soon either.

The Colonial Estate

Richard Lander Barossa Valley Shiraz 2008

Delectable this is the Colonial Estate Richard Lander Shiraz - not offered in your Database. Big ripe plum fruit with dark chocolate and blackberry - verging on raisiny. A nice rich full bodied fruit driven palate. The 108 year old vines save the day and prevent it from being a complete fruit bomb. Given to me as a business gift last Christmas and better than I was expecting. The next day it was rich, full bodied with a bit more spice - most enjoyable on a cold day. — 10 months ago

Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

9.0

A BTG offering at Angèle and what a delight. Pleasant Hill - aka JENKINS RANCH - is a proven Pinot Noir site in the as yet unofficial “Sebastopol Hills” area of Russian River Valley AVA. 2014 with 3-4 years of bottle time is bridging youthful juiciness with a flicker of aged character. Nice work — 5 years ago

On the palate, cherry, plum, dark berry, cola, fruit forward. Jammy. Nice medium to full body with velvety mouthfeel. Nicely balanced tannins and longish finish. — 7 months ago

Two Brothers North Coast Pinot Noir 2016

A mid to light weight Pinot that, despite its name, is feminine in character. Plenty of freshness with rose petals and raspberries. The artwork in the background is Mortimer and Jenkins by Swoon (2012) - the two having a (possibly play-) fight seemed brotherly. — 5 years ago
