Wow. Softened the next day. Hints of Creamy oak. SB dominates. Reminiscent of great white Bordeaux — 4 years ago

Purity Wine
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon - Lolonis Vineyard - Mendocino, CA

Organic, Dry farmed, 50+ yr old vines, harvested 10/11/19, pressed 11/25/19, bottled 12/19, consumed 3-17-20. Ingredients: Grape juice, fermented to wine. 13.5% ABV. Only natural occuring sulfites.

Proper well balanced fresh natty wine, decent acidty, bit tart, smells clean for a natty wine, some yeast sediment visible in bottle, slight fresh yeast note (freshly baked yeast dinner rolls) within the violet and plum scent gravel/cement note, wine is clear and a nice cab color.

Its good, and would happily repurchase. Amazed how non-negatively-impactful fresh natty wines can be.
Keep up the good work! — 5 years ago

Still alive. Speaking in whispers rather than shouting. Kinda like a cool, youthful, grandpa.

Some fruit left, mostly dried. Tertiary notes abound: caramel, toffee, earthiness. Super resolved tannin and still some acid.

Color me surprised. — 9 years ago

Nose has under-ripe peach, lemon zest, cold chalk and wet beach sand.

Palate has pineapple core, dried lemon, sea spray and dehydrated peach.

Nice balanced acidity, no real herbal notes to speak of, a different expression than the traditional style. This wine should have a long life ahead, drink 2024-31.

The inaugural, single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc for Saracina from the Lolonis Vineyard; possibly some of the oldest SB vines in the US, planted in 1942.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons and pianist Paul Lewis collaborate on the third of three concerts encompassing all five of Ludwig van Beethoven’s piano concertos in one weekend. Today's program includes OGONEK (Starling Variations, 2022; world premiere), FARRENC (Symphony No. 3 in G minor, Opus. 36) and BEETHOVEN (Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat, Opus 73, Emperor). This weekend has been an auditory pleasure, enjoying all five of Beethoven's piano concerti, and what a finale today! — 2 years ago
