Special Selection Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Neat little comparison, as this was tasted alongside a 2009 O'Shaughnessy Mount Veeder Cabernet. It was interesting how these at first were very different, then started to converge, then started to diverge significantly. At the end of the comparison, this one was a two-point winner. This is a nose of classic Napa Cabernet. Blackberry currant, pepper that almost singes your nostril hair. Entry is full-bodied, Blackberry, blueberry, baking spices, currant, licorice, herbs. And just kept adding another layer and another layer. On the finish, softened tannins are noted yet toasted quality is still extremely present. This wine is showing superb integration, and in my opinion it's still probably 3 to 5 years away from the very top of the hill. This one has a long life ahead. — 5 years ago

Another fun comparison from same vintage, same winemaker, and same fruit! Difference is that this wine from Progeny is the choice barrels of the Veeder fruit. Like the O’Shaughnessy on steroids. Wow! Cashmere. So plush and rich in profile. Nutmeg and sweet cocoa on the nose with ripe blue and black fruit. Baking spices, baked mixed berry pie, sandalwood, lush and fresh dark fruits to the core. Grainy yet soft tannins at the finish. Still improving. Killer bottle. Thanks @Mark Flesher

Howell Mountain Malbec 2019

This is the Malbec from Howell mountain, small production and super cool wine.

Wild blue and black fruits come through with a touch of gaminess to begin with. Has a bit of acidity but it’s medium bodied and hangs pretty well.

Overall - lovely and delicious wine. Nice change of pace.

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

My 1000th Delectable wine! And quite fitting. This wine is massive. Compared to a 13 O'Shaughnessy Veeder that was consumed alongside, this wine had a bit more. Both were still youthful and primary, the nose of this with a Blackberry and cassis. Entry is just north of full bodied, tannic from the start and stiff to the finish. Black fruits and a hint of lavender and tobacco. Has quite a few years left. This bottle was a victim to experiment and still an easy 95....I feel inclined to give it a 96 but am stopping at 95. Easily a 97 at maturity if my willpower allows it (which it won't). — 6 years ago

Dense and rich. Sweet tar, fresh squeezed blackberries, dark chocolate and licorice aromatics. Big on the palate...so much blue and black fruit with currant and plum. More cocoa than dark chocolate. Thought this edged out the ‘06 O’Shaughnessey by a point or so. Always delicious and can’t wait to visit in a month.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Napa rendition here. Blend of oakville, Howell mtn, and mt veeder. More lush and fruity than mtn single vineyards. Plum and some tartness before the structure hits you. This is a very pleasant wine and has a softness to it that makes it easy drinking without being jammy. 30 mins of air helps blow off jam. — 5 months ago
