The house cab at Jimmy P’s steakhouse in Naples, Fl. Perfect mid price pairing with a big steak. Fruity start with hints of blackberries and currants. Finishes with light oaky fruit taste. Really nice. — 21 days ago

Hope family began their planting’s in 1978 & sold wine under the Hope Family label directly from winery's tasting room. In 1990 the Hope ranches became the sole source of fruit for Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1996, they founded Treana Winery. Blend of 75% Cab Sauv & 25% Syrah. Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet berry & spice notes. On the palate flavors of currants and ripe berry with cacao, pepper and vanilla spice. Full body, rich tannins, good balance ending on the spicy side, better after decant. — 4 years ago

Happy New Year! Had to go out with a fun year end wine.

Decant and pour(decent chunky/fine sediment). A majestic dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: Eucalyptus, perfumed red fruit, floral, soil, herbaceous. Taste: silky, creamy, fresh wine with some still there red cherry, tobacco, earthy, shaved graphite, and a peppery cedar long finish. YUM! What a treat to drink as a our final wine this last night of the year.
Cheers!

Fresh, fruity but not overpoweringly sweet. Apricot notes. I had it chilled on its own and with food. Perfect for summer and hot weather. — 5 years ago

100% Tempranillo, from La Horra, one of the best zones in Ribera del Duero, Ceres is named after the greek goddess of agriculture and fertility, aged for 12 months in French and American oak, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and clean spice. Palate shows flavors of red berry fruits, spice, floral and licorice notes, vivid acidity. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with spice, fruit and earthy character. Nice! — a year ago

Where to begin? Wow! I allready drank a lot of Riesling in my life but this wine is like entering heaven (I suppose….). A nose to die for and a a perfect balanced sweetness and bitterness in the mouth. No hurry at all. This 34 years old Goddess wine has a long life ahead. — 4 years ago

I'll start off by saying that I think less-than-ideal storage conditions marred this tasting with Kai. It's a struggle here really because I really like their Malaysian importer. I can understand the difficulties in maintaining an effective cold chain in Malaysia, so I sincerely hope this gets better.

Having said that, this was my favorite in Kai's line-up despite the slightly advanced wine. Good perfume, sporting smokey black fruits, herbs, spices, violets, and wood (which was a touch distracting). I felt the palate should have been livelier - dark-fruited, spicy, and earthy, with heavy charred notes permeating throughout. The finish has a lot fruit sweetness, with a lick of caramel and balsamic. Nice wine, though not one I'd actively seek.

To be frank I think too much oak was used here, but not in the same liberty as in Barossa Shiraz. It's more like Guigal vs Gonon... maybe that's a bit extreme... Jamet vs Gonon... though not quite right still. I like Kai, but I gotta follow my palate at times like this. — 5 years ago
