St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Hello from bitter cold MN. Woke up this morning to -23 degree temps and it was garbage day…. 🥶
Continuing my month of drinking 2016 wines. Almost opened Pape Clement tonight. Thoughts on if that’s too soon anyone? Smash or pass?
This is drinking very well. Has that Corison thing with great tension of fruit and acidity. Mouthwatering.
Cheers all. 🍷 stay warm and safe this weekend. — 9 days ago

The kind of wine you never won’t to end… just sensational. What a beautiful expression of Napa and the wine was drinking beautifully with 15 years of age. — a month ago

Decanted for 3 hours. Opened with bold fruit forward then mellowed in the glass. Toward the end, slight hints of earthy iron! Overall, great 21 year old bottle! — 2 months ago

Gabbro Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Stuart Pollack

This is what every Cabernet Sauvignon should taste like. Despite being from Italy instead of California, this Cabernet has the richness of a Corison or other top Cabernet Sauvignon, but for less money. Deep intense stewed fruit to start with plum and blackberry, rich earthiness, chocolate and tobacco, then perfect tannins to finish. And aged just the right amount now to smooth out the tannins. Buy some if you can find it. At $67.50, this Cabernet Sauvignon was an extraordinary value. — 2 years ago
