Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of cedar, herbs, tobacco leaf, herbs, black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, licorice, cloves, mint, black pepper and light earth.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already gorgeous, although still young.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.

The 2016 was a great vintage, and it is showing. This Single Vineyard cabernet will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

Robert Parker 97 points. Wine Enthusiasts 96 points.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it always delivers.

Thank you Barry for sharing this with me.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it beef brisket.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (65% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.7% alcohol by volume

94 points.

$180.

Rosé De Saignée 1er Cru Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir

Des arômes de fraise, de canneberges se révèlent sur ce Champagne expressif et frais. Belle mousse avec des bulles asset fines, pas trop vineux pour un PN et avec une belle acidité assez vive, finale de longueur moyenne un brin acidulée avec cette légère rétro de canneberges. 89-90

Strawberries and cranberries on this expressive and fresh Champagne, nice mousse and fairly tight bubbles, not too vinous for a PN, medium length finish with slightly tart cranberries coming back.

Kurt birthday wine. Still really great but liked the way it drank a few years ago. Would go younger on vintage. Maybe 3 years old instead of 7. — 4 months ago

Domaine des Fines Caillottes Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc

Pale yellow with a nose of green apple & pear with some oak. In the mouth it’s quite smooth with a slight buttery feel and green apple, grapes and pear. Oak is there as well and while dry, a slight hint of sweetness. Very nice! — 2 years ago
