9.1

This young Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Big and bold, yet elegant. Rich and extracted.

Showing black fruits with cedar, tobacco, light vanilla, earth, bell pepper, herbs, green vegetables, spices and and violets.

Nice finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 92% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

It's not everyday that I drink a 15 years old rosé. That is also in a good shape with potential to age for more years. Old school style, complex and interesting bouquet of caramel, marzipan, apricot, blood orange and fig with some cooked notes. In a blind tasting (sniffing?) I would assume that it has some relation to Madeira wine, but then you taste it and it's bone dry and not fortified. And the acidity is high. Overall, I love this wine and it was a cherry on a cake. — 3 years ago

Bought via allocation. Nice. Worth $125? Probably not, maybe. — 9 months ago

Reminds me of a young BV George’s Latour cab. Brilliant deep fruit with a tinge of earth, lovely bouquet and full body. But this one sells for nine dollars at Costco as opposed to 125 for the BV. — a year ago

It is time for a delicious Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Deep purple/ Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Big strong nose with blueberries, blackberries, black cherries, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, spices, raisins, chocolates, dried figs, light alcohol and peppercorn.

Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, cola, herbs, beef jerky, tar, peppercorn pencil lead, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous Merlot based blend from Napa Valley.

Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.

Tasty and concentrated. Rich and powerful, and not for the faint of hearts.

This young Bordeaux blend is already fabulous, will be so much better in 10 years, and will age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it again in 5 years.

A blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet sauvignon. A small production of only 300 cases.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

Nice round mouth feel and tatse. Fruity but not everly sweet. Nice and sweet with a pleasent and stable after taste. Would be great on its own even. Nice hints of berry. Very pleasant wine. — 10 months ago

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and very fruity on the palate.

Showing blackberries, raisins, dried figs, vanilla, cola, cedar, milk chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, light vinaigrette and Mediterranean spices.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and fruity.

Rich and extracted. Complex and interesting. A great sipping wine to have all by itself. Just gorgeous.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
