Mount Bullion Vineyards Casto Oaks The Dream Mourvèdre 2019, Calaveras County, California

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

Strong nose of black cherries, black plums, black currants, cherry pie, light oak, spices and milk chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long skinny legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, light alcohol, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty Mourvedre from california. Spicy and entertaining. Feels like an elegant California Zinfandel. Interesting stuff.

This 3 year old is already showing nice complexity, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 3 to 5 years.

Fruit forward and tangy. Elegant and very pleasant.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. A good party wine as well. Good by itself or with food.

Dark ruby in color with medium plus intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of blueberries, black plums, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, herbs, earth, dark chocolates and black pepper.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a yummy Cabernet Sauvignon from Sierra Foothills in California. Nicely balanced and easy drinking with a nice mouthfeel.

Much better after 3 hours in the decanter, and worth the wait. Loved the nose once it opens up. Tannins show up after 2 hours of airtime.

Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly. I had the 2016 vintage not too long ago, and I loved it, so give this a few more years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Rojo oscuro y lágrima muy densa.Frutos rojos y negros en nariz. En boca suave con taninos equilibrados. Un pequeño amargor al final que desaparece al rato de estar aireado. Buen vino para empezar con los franceses que he comprado.

Mount Bullion Vineyards Casto Oaks Jessie's Zin 2017, Sierra Foothills, California

A very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, blueberries, blackberry pie, spices, light oak, vanilla, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and red chili pepper.

This 5 year old Zinfandel is drinking very nicely now. Spicy and smoky. Fruit forward and intense.

Good right out of the bottle, easy drinking, and good for parties.

Spicy with mild complexity. Soft and supple. Rich and interesting.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with a burger.

2016. Mencía, Brancellao, Mouratón y Sousón que, además, lleva un pequeño aporte de Garnacha tintorera. Atlántico, afrutado, mineral, herbáceo y con notas balsámicas. He copiado las notas de cata porque me ha parecido un vino muy complejo que merece la pena probar. 16€ aprox. Excelente caldo. — 4 years ago
