Surprised by this well-balanced delight! — 3 months ago
Always fun to celebrate a birthday with a birth year bottle! I opened a bottle of this a few months back and couldn’t believe how good it was.
Coming from the famed Caldwell vineyard, this has such a bright eucalyptus note! Deep red/black in the glass with no bricking! Dusty fig, sweet espresso, dirty red and black berry fruit. Even after following from bottle over 3-4hrs, this has a natural cool/minty vibe alongside dark cocoa and sweet black cassis. So much youth and tannin! I should have spaced my two bottles out…these are still cruising! — 8 months ago
Sipping Fine Wine
100% Merlot, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, cedar and herb spice, aged for 18 months in 89% new French oak, blend of fruit, 68% from Pahlmeyer Estate Vineyard and 33% from Stagecoach. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum with vanilla spice, espresso, cacao and cedar herb notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty earthy mineral layered with sweet spicy character. Nice now, will age a bit! — 4 days ago
