Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

9.3

This has softened considerably since my last bottle several years ago. Nose is complex, with earth, cedar, cigar box, and an incense-like note. In the mouth, it’s rich but medium-bodied. The tannins that were so prominent a few years ago have significantly resolved. Entering (finally) its drinking window. — a month ago

See my prior notes. For a gnarly vintage, few complaints here. — a month ago

@Ron R but isn’t that usually the case?

…and some luck!

As rule of thumb, yes, but not always… for example, 2003’s, I don’t think I’ve tasted a good Napa wine from that vintage. This is not to say that there aren’t any good wines, just that I haven’t tasted any.

Time to drink. Past its prime however still interesting. Blackberry, plumb with licorice. Some notes of leather along with what seemed stronger than normal alcohol. What you doing in 1987? — a month ago

Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2017

9.3

Small production. RSV has under 200 acres of vineyards in 5 Carneros locations & a winery in the Stags Leap District. The wines are 100% organic. Ruby with berry, cherry & spice aromas. On the palate flavors of wild strawberry & cherry with complex spice, citrus, oak and balanced acidity. Fine soft tannins, good balance, long finish with an earthy characteristic ending with notes of vanilla spice. Nice! — a month ago
