Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Ruby with bouquet of berry fruit and herb floral notes, aged for 10 months on French oak. On the palate strawberry and black cherry flavors with sweet spice, tea and earthy tones. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with earthy herbs, cedar, dried fruits and mineral tones. — 15 days ago

This really leans into the darker aspect of Cab. Dark cassis, loads of dark crushed stone, baker’s chocolate, dark iodiney savory notes. Intense in the mouth, but with surprisingly nice acids for its 14.9 frame. Rich, but bone dry. Still tannic, but it’s soft. — 5 months ago

Good but harsher and more tanic than we remember. Didn’t decant but maybe needs it. Opened up a week later but not the favorite still. Definitely more balanced. . — 2 days ago

Very good as always. Very full bodied and you realize it from what we’re drinking otherwise. — a month ago

Deep ruby color. Balanced tannins, with blackberry and dark fruit on the palate, then comes the spice, espresso, and cocoa on the finish. Love this wine for the price. — 3 months ago

A property I have visited & still have in my collection.

A well made Oregon Pinot. Just moved past this extracted & slightly sweeter style. My palate just doesn’t enjoy it as much these days. — 6 months ago
