Holbrook Mitchell Trio Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2003

2003 | Red Meritage
(Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Cabernet Franc)
Rosenblum Cellars; Holbrook Mitchell (Vineyard) Trio
Napa Valley; Yountville, CA USA
(91-93; Drink 2023-33)

Perfect cork.

Fantastic ripe plum notes to the nose and palate. I don't know the exact blending percentages of the grapes, but assume CS is dominant since it's listed first on the back label. But, the Merlot is most prominent at this age and it's singing a beautiful song tonight after 3H in the decanter. Last bottle from release purchase in April 2006, winery direct.

Haven’t seen a Rosenbaum in a long time. A few decades ago, their single vineyard Zins were a go-to for me

@Tom Casagrande Work & Personal life has been incredibly busy the past few months, posting has slipped down the priority list unfortunately. I've still got some of their single vineyard Zinfandel's, with similar age to this post, hiding away in the cellar.

Holbrook-Mitchell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

After about 90 minutes of air, the nose is showing sweet, dark berries, sandstoney gravel, smoke-infused sandalwood, olive, and sweet spice. Lots going on. Soft on entry, but tightens up a little after entry. Gorgeous savory flavors of dark minerals, rich cassis, and a bit of baker’s chocolate. As the finish goes on, the structure (lurking soft tannins and full body from the 14.4% alc) shows up. Very nice length. Drinks nicely now but certainly will age for another 7-10 years. — 8 months ago

Rattlesnake Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

A big fruit forward wine. Excellent plum and black currant notes. The middle provides strong leather notes from the tannins that leads to a subtle sweet oak finish. — a year ago

Holbrook Mitchell Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2013

I read the other reviews and was surprised how low it was rated. Maybe it's the 2013 vintage vs the 2012. I found the 2013 delicious and wish I had purchased more when I was there. — 9 years ago
