The Bard Red Wine 2018
One of our fave Napa wines due to the fact that it’s consistent and restrained. Requires no food, just good company. — 3 months ago

Wow. Fantasy bottle. — 8 days ago
Hartwell Vineyards
Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 1991
Picked up a couple of these from a local cellar sale at a crazy cheap price and have been happy with each one.
Classically older SLD Cabernet. The fruit spectrum is on the red and black side (as I expect from SLD) with a mocha/cocoa layered sweetness. Some older fig, sweet pipe tobacco, and a core of fruit still in-tact. Soft on the mid-palate but retaining nice structure throughout the finish. Exactly what I expected from 34yr old Napa Cabernet.
Hope to try the Realm X Hartwell wine to see the vision from where this was to what the profile goal is in the future. — 17 days ago
13.2% for a Cab from CA.
@Pinotman /// Andreas Those were the days but there were a lot clocking in around 13.8. Just looked at my 1999 bottle. It’s 14.1.
FWIW, Ketan Mody’s Beta wines often have modest ABV’s like the OG wines

Approachable now, but probably better in 3-5 years time. — 6 days ago
