Tesseron Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Dark-fruited nose. Medium/medium-heavy body. Nose a preamble for the brooding plum, cherry, cassis, blackberry and blueberry. Noticeable tannins afoot but not on Terminator-dodging/avoidance terms. From the property previously owned by the late, great, one and only Robin Williams. New owners Château Pontet-Canet BDX peeps named the new venture after the middle names of Robin Williams’ children. Cool. Structure definitely hovering with that dark fruit and extremely well made effort. Not gratuitous in any way. Need to stash a bottle and reconvene in 2035. Not your usual, high-end, Napa cab. 03.12.25. — 23 days ago

Nice backstory to this wine, @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego. I’ll have a little sniff around for the wine. Robin Williams was a brilliant human being. I miss him for sure. Dead Poets Society was the nudge that got me back in Uni. That film (and his acting) had a huge influence on me…

Rose Touriga Nacional 2016

12.8% ABV.

A very structured (no doubt due to the varietal), dry and layered Rosé. Almost drinking like a lighter-bodied Red.
Good interesting stuff!

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Post group meeting celebratory pop. Has tremendous potential, glad there are two more heading to my “cellar.” Has the red fruits, cassis, a little vanilla and some oak. Not “big” but still quite good. — 6 years ago

Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Fumé Blanc 2013

Here for this like the hook in a Carly Rae Jepsen song. Bright and fresh with disco ball acidity, you can tell she went to private school but is just longing to let loose at the club in the city. Getting a very Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time” vibe. Plan skits and pony tails for Gods — 7 years ago
