Oak Grove

Winemaker's Red California Zinfandel Blend 2020

Pleasantly surprised at how good this blend was considering the lower price point! The Zinfandel is the strongest taste I’m getting with strong cherry and tart tastes along with more subtle hints of cinnamon on some sips. An excellent wine with meat and greet on its own. Had NYE at Allora with Arancini, burrata and roasted peppers and braised beef with and without pasta. — 5 months ago

This was great! 1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Dark fruit and rustic elements on the nose. Palate reminded me of all those great Bordeaux’s we had with dinners in London! Medium plus depth and medium finish, that had a high quality taste to it. Awesome!

Similar to my 7/3/22 note.

PnP. Better than expected. Lacked depth and fruit but the dark fruit that did show through was refined and had a great texture. Still massively overpriced. — 5 months ago

Cambium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

9.1

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Nice nose of cedar, dark cherries, and earth. Went downhill from there. Bigger tannins than expected with a tartness that overwhelmed. Minimal fruit and little depth with a near zero finish. Wasn’t over the hill, but just not up to expectations. — 5 months ago

Laurel Glen Vineyard

Sonoma Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

Really? Wow. At 26 years old, not only hanging in there… but highly enjoyable. The mustiness had to blow off for a while, and then it hit its stride. Some toasty fruit remains in front of a long finish. cheers to ending 2023. …. Still going. Finish still going…. Going… — 6 months ago

Patrick Campbell "got it." Only Cabernet Sauvignon from ANY producer with the word "Sonoma" on the label that I've ever had that absolutely kicked ass and took names. Can still taste the 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1994. The new version of Laurel Glen Cab is a far cry from what it used to be. Lucky you got a fleeting glimpse of a great vintage from an excellent property under the guidance of a supremely underrated winemaker. Happy New Year!
