Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of baking spice, blackcurrant, cherry compote, plum, tea leaves, and vanilla. Medium-plus body; smooth, silky, medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Rich, intense, fruit-forward nose; velvety mouthfeel; lengthy, lovely finish. A smooth operator that takes time to blossom. — 4 years ago

We all think this is a nice cab. We also think it is still to young. Tasted better when aireated However I’m going to let it age another couple of years. Needs a big fat steak to offset the tannins. — 7 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2009

Wow. Best domestic CF I have had to date. Wow. This wine has done quite a bit of growing in the last five years. One of my last 2, and what a beauty! The more spry lily and daisy flower notes have changed to more of a dried lavender and rose petal. The nose is black cherry spice, hint of plum, hint of cola. Entry has a split second of sweet, dense black cherry right on the front with ample acidity that goes to a darker black fruit note to the middle. Cola, pie spice, fig newton, a touch of iodine. Finishes dense and powerful. Dang. Ridiculously happy with this wine. This is the best 9 bottles of wine I've ever begged someone to sell me, and was in the right place at the right time when JRE came to the Ft Worth Club all those years ago! — 6 years ago
