Back to the earth — a year ago
Another gem that we were able to taste at WS this past weekend. My first WS Cab. I called it a Pinot lovers Cab. I enjoyed it enough to bring one home for future enjoyment. Notes from winemaker describe this as a “classically stoked Cab from the historic Rutherford property. Fresh currants with highlights of red fruit.” It also offers undertones of mountain fruit. — 2 years ago
Great California Cabernet — 4 months ago
This past Wednesday I opened the 2016 Hourglass III Red Blend. From Calastoga Napa, California. A blend of 48% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Petit Sirah.
On the nose there was black cherry, blackberry, pomegranate, bkack currant, chocolate and vanilla.
On the palate there was black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, mocha, spice, cassis, clove and forest floor
This wine is medium to full bodied with a velvety smooth mouthfeel medium+ acidity medium+ smooth round tannins that move wonderfully into a long black fruit dark soil finish. This was enjoyed with close life long friends and everyone commented how they enjoyed it. Have a great week ahead and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 months ago
