Experiment C4.6 Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Dark ruby. Red fruit nose. Medium bodied. Silky soft tannins even right out of the bottle. Fruit forward, lots of oak, earthy, mushroom, hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Medium finish. Drinking well now. — 2 years ago

Experiment N1.4 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2014

Last of the weekend Ovids and exactly what I was referring to in other posts. The Experiment reds are generally fantastic. Bold and rich and unique. @Matt Duncan these last two wines are what makes Ovid special. — 4 years ago

Napa Valley Red Blend 2017

9.1

Needed a few more years. Opened up to an unusually layered wine with a complex nose of berry fruits, chocolate, plum, floral and metal notes. Crisp but full on the palate. Really well made. — a month ago

Experiment W6.9 White Wine 2019

Quite the white wine blend! My last bottle as I have enjoyed crushing these during spring time the last few years. I’ve much preferred the 2019 experiment to the 2020 experiment (which is heavy Viognier and Albariño).

Roughly 25 SauvB/ 13 Grenache Blanc/ 12 roussanne/ 12 Viognier/ 11 Albariño/ 10 Vermentino/ 10 Marsanne/ 5 Picpoul Blanc

Aromatically, this comes across as SB and Viognier…it’s bright and semi-tropical (white peach, underripe guava) with honeysuckle and lemongrass. Wonderful texture channeling a spine of acidity with mineral/wet rock, some honeyed green apple crisps, and a sea-salted lemon finish. Oak doesn’t make much of an appearance. Profile wise, this falls in between your traditional Cali SBs and the newer “Super SauvBlanc” styles. Lovely.

Experiment R9.8 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

I’m not loving this. Some of the flavors are good but they don’t feel melded together. It has to be the Petit Verdot that’s throwing me off. — 3 months ago

@Antonio Galloni Long time user of Delectable and would really like to see more people coming back to it. Any chance you will be asking the base for ideas on how to make it better going into the new year? I would love an extract so I could see how I’ve rated bottles over time.

Very enjoyable Riesling. Not overly complex but enough layers to be interesting and food friendly. — 3 years ago
