Had the 2001 on same night. Aged vintage was amazing. Cherry and berry notes — 24 days ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim
The nose is still tight with red fruits and light oak notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, black cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, earth, herbs and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley. Elegant and nicely balanced, with an Italian feel. Complex and entertaining.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 19 months in (65% new) French Oak barrels.
14.9% alcohol by volume.

This is a delicious Merlot from Spring Mountain District. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and complex. Spicy and soft, tangy and interesting.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
I've had a few older vintages of this Merlot and it is very consistent.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 24 months. A small production of less than 9,000 bottles.
14.6% alcohol by volume.

Raspberries and Cherry - no strawberries (which was mentioned by another reviewer). So definitely on the Burgh side of things and just 13.5%. Fresh bright and beautiful. Flawless (I like it with some funk). Wouldn’t keep it drink now. As far as I remember highly rated by the so to speak « wine authorities ». — 7 hours ago
Delishly rich. The 2017 at 9 years old is exceptional quality deep cab flavor — 2 months ago
