Estate Reserve Monticello Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

2016 Keswick Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon
Estate Reserve

Even without a decant, the ‘16 Estate Reserve from Keswick Vineyards and their brilliant winemaker Stephen Barnard rises out of the glass with pronounced notes of ripe blueberries, subtle oak & forrest floor. If one didn’t know the origin I’m convinced we’d hear Italy, France- maybe even California for the sake of the fruit of it.

The tannins are silky but the backbone is/has been clearly melting into the ‘meat’ and mid-palate of the wine.

Simply put: this is a remarkable Cabernet that I still can’t believe came from Virginia.

Columbia Valley Port Syrah 2021

ESF
9.0

Delightful out of 500ml: nose of luxurious Chambord, decadent, held the alcohol well, smooth rich finely detailed, more Ruby than Tawny, youthful & vibrant. Thoroughly enjoyed - reminiscent of some domestic Zin based “port” — 9 months ago

Columbia Valley Pinot Gris 2021

Super sapid. The nose is full@of golden raisins, dried pineapple. The palate brings in pleasant porridge (breakfast of champions). — 2 years ago
