Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Red Mountain.

Purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Elegant nose with blue and black fruits, light cedar, light earth and chocolates notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain. Elegant and rich. Complex, spicy and entertaining.

This 8 year old Cabernet is drinking close to its peak. Fruit forward and easy drinking right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Has good potential to become a 94 point wine.

Showing a great mouthfeel with nice balance and elegance. Interesting enough to drink by itself and talk about.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points. Wine Advocate 93 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 22 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$80.

Col Vetoraz

Cartizze Superiore Prosecco di Valdobbiadene 2023

The winery is the only one situated on the Cartizze Hill.
They only make Valdobbiadene Docg and Cartizze Docg.
Manula harvesting is the only option on these slopes, not like they do on the flatland of the Prosecco DOC.
That results in an intense and unique expression for every label, but we reach the epitome with Her Majesty Cartizze.
The only Cru around here.
The traditional Dry version(24 g sugar per litre) is absolutely textural and balanced by the mineral finish that hides completely the sweetness that you would expect.
Extremely long.
This is prosecco on steroids(does that sound good or bad??)
Excellent drop!!
