Gernot Langes Lujan de Cuyo Malbec Blend 2016

A great Bordeaux blend from Argentina, deep Ruby with complex aromas of red/black fruits, floral and earthy herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cacao, oak and floral herbs. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy oak. Nice. Tasting Sample! — 3 years ago

Estate Bottled Hermann Norton 2006

2006. We’ve had this in the cellar since a really fun bike ride across Missouri long ago. I was surprised how much dark rich fruit remained, how smooth the tannins were, and how great it paired with a grilled Nebraska steak! — 3 years ago

Reserve Lodi Field Blend

Great red blend. Really jammy and rich. Needs lots of time to breathe. Better the second day. Maybe decant this if you’re planning on drinking the whole thing in one night? — 3 years ago

Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Still a good cab but not as good as previous vintages. A bit unfortunate, but this wine has gone full blown super market class. — 8 months ago

Cross J Vineyard Norton 2015

Blinded a dear buddy in the wine trade on this tonight, guesses all over the place, in a great spot, want to see this in 10+Y.

72H Update:
Nose has crushed blackberries, ripe plum, dried plum, dried tart cherries, moist mahogany and faint moist soil. Palate has tart plum, light molasses, blackberry compote, faint leather notes and fine tannins. Not as good as day one, but no slouch on day three. A wonderful experience, many years in the bottle to go ahead.
