Smooth drinking Grenache from Paso — 2 months ago
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish/brick rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, dried figs, cedar, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, spices, herbs, light eucalyptus, light earth, black tea and black pepper.
Full-bodied, soft and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, licorice, light herbs, spices, light earth, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, coffee and cola.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and complex. Well balanced and elegant.
An iconic wine that still needs more time in the bottle to mature properly. Although it is 9 years old, it still feels very young. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. This Single Vineyard is showing great potential.
Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 3 hours of decanting.
Wine Advocate 98 points. Wine Spectator 96 points.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
14.8% alcohol by volume.

Rich and mouth filling in the luscious Felton Road style. Only 20% whole bunch letting the quality of the ripe fruit speak. Intense red and black fruits - raspberry to the fore. This is just a “village “ wine in comparison to their illustrious Block 3 and Block 5 but it more than holds its own. Impossible not to enjoy this wine. — 2 days ago
