Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Spicy nose with black fruits, chocolates and light cedar.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, sweet raspberries, plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, light alcohol, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This young Zinfandel from Oakville is starting to drink nicely now. Spicy and rich. Elegant and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose at this point.

A very interesting wine, as the nose shows black fruits, while red fruits dominate the palate.

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

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food.

100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 14 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels. Only 25 barrels produced.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Morgaenlee Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pale lemon in color.

Elegant nose of citrus, green apples, spices and minerals.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, citrus, lemons, green apples, spices, light herbs and white pepper.

Tangy finish with limes.

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc from Yountville in Napa Valley. Showing nice balance and mouthfeel. Elegant and rich.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and neither bitter nor tart, which I loved.

Drinking at its peak now. Complex and fruit forward. Spicy and tangy.

A good quality wine that will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

I had the 2018 last year, and it is very consistent.

This Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired beautifully with fresh oysters.

A blend of 97% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Sémillon. Aged for 9 months on its lees.

13% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with chocolate notes, cedar, vanilla, tobacco, Indian spices and licorice.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, cola and herbs.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is another terrific wine from the problematic 2020 vintage in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, complex and smooth. Elegant with a great mouthfeel.

Rich, extracted and in your face kind of wine. The nose is really gorgeous at this point.

Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes in the decanter. Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Organic.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$80.

Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

9.4

When TRB started this label, I thought a primarily Cabernet Winemaker is going to make Pinot Noir? I wondered how his first vintage would be and while it wasn’t bad by any means, it wasn’t what this 2014 Silver Eagle is at this point. TRB has/is honed/honing his craft. This 2014 will likely continue to improve a bit going forward over the next three years for sure & maybe five. This 14 Silver Eagle is definitely hitting its stride. The nose shows the blue & purple fruits I enjoy on the Pinots I prefer to drink.

The nose reveals nicely ripe blackberries, black raspberries, plum, baked cherries & strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, dry cranberry & raspberries hues on the glass edges. Mid berry cola/licorice, soft baking spices-clove, some nutmeg & vanillin, dark, Asian/Indian spice mix, light mix of fresh & dry herbs, dark rich soil w/ dry leaves, limestone, dry top soil with fresh & withering dark, red, blue florals framed in a fresh violet field.

The palate shows good mouthfeel & wire to wire consistency. Juicy, ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, plum, baked cherries & strawberries, blueberry & mulberry tones, pomegranate, cranberry & raspberries hues. Mid berry cola/licorice, soft baking spices-clove, some nutmeg & vanillin, warm caramel, toast, steeped fruit tea, dark, Asian/Indian spice mix with deep palate penetration & heat, light mix of fresh & dry herbs, dark rich soil w/ dry leaves, dry brush, sandalwood, grey volcanics. wet clay, sandstone & limestone powder, dry top soil with fresh & withering dark, red, blue florals framed in a fresh violet field. The acidity is excellent with a long, elegant, well; balanced, tensioned & structured finish that lasts minutes and lands nicely on dark spice as it sets.

I really enjoy this vineyard and some of the Winemakers that make Pinot from it.

Plenty of life left in this one. 8-10 years well stored.
