Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Last taste was a sample at the winery. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruit and floral spice. On the palate youthful flavors of blackberry, black cherry, plum and currants with complex spice showing notes of cacao, cinnamon and rich vanilla oak. Graceful soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, great balance with acidity, long finish, ending with notes of oak, smoke and mineral notes. Nice! Had the 1 Liter bottle! — 9 days ago

...this was good. Only the sweet finish after the swirl lets you know it’s not Caymus. Picking up a case tomorrow. — 13 days ago

Wonderful red blend from Napa; same winemaking family as Caymus. Joseph Wagner, son of Chuck, also created Meomi while at Caymus. Good value. — 3 days ago

This was a very interesting tasting experience. 3rd btl since release and changing for the better. Highly extracted Purple in color with nose of berries, cherry, herbs, licorice and taste of cherry mocha blackberry and vanilla. Certainly New World but better balanced w time. The wine became more focused and less jammy over the evening and wine left in the glass showed some tannin along with the good fruit. I am wondering if this is going to age like many 82 Bordeaux that originally seemed too fruity and unstructured to last but have truly showed the test of time. The background tannins have me considering this to be the future ? I think it is going to be going strong with good balance well into its second decade of life — 9 days ago
