Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Ron R
9.4

An experiment. So consistently strong, and clearly has longevity. No rush to consume these…
So decadent, going close to the explosive line, but doesn’t cross it. Blueberries and rich black fruits mesh with sandalwood and brown sugar. Weighty on the mid palate with relaxed acidity. This is epic. Still in its prime so consume now.

Cascina Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

Stellar Barolo. Definitely of the new school, lighter color, lightly structured, but radiant fruit in a refined style. Decanted 2hrs. Perfect pairing for veal/osso buco, maybe less so for a roast. Some debate whether more age would refine the fruit further or cause it to dissipate. No idea but have two more so can experiment! Made me want to get on an overnight to Piedmont tonight. — a year ago

Walla Walla Valley Riesling 2021

We had a busy weekend with some friends going through a few bottles. We started with the nice invigorating Riesling from Figgins. Not like the 2020 however. we paired it with some different light cheeses like Brie, Muenster cheese, an apricot flavored cheese and a garlic flavored curd cheese. They all brought different flavors out of the wine. Fun experiment. Interestingly, one of the bottles was carbonated 🤔, the yeast must have still been active. — 3 years ago

Ovid

Napa Valley Red Blend 2019

This is a highly extracted style of Cabernet with loads of cassis, black cherry, blackberry, a touch of mint and a heavy overlay of chocolate, oaky vanilla, smoke and baking spice. It’s so big I find it somewhat ungainly and lacking enough acidity to offset the weighty fruit. There is surprisingly little tertiary development so far though it will be welcome when it arrives. Medium plus finish. — 7 months ago

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. — 3 years ago
