Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
94 now. 94-96 in 5-8 yrs.
I have a soft spot for a Napa producer that was completely burned to the ground in 2017. Thankfully, structurally recovered now. Financially recovered? I’m sure they were insured but who knows given the over saturated wine market these days.
This bottling/cuvée comes from the estate vines that face preferably east & behind the property that I thought burned in the fires but maybe it was just its fridges.
This cuvée sells at two online resellers today for $115 and $150 respectively. $150 at the winery. I saw this at my Costco this week for $49.99 with an instant coupon. So, I bought 3. I’ll go back and buy at least 3 more tomorrow.
The nose & palate are harmonious & in sync. I do not remember experiencing a nose with such lush/rich fruits and bold cinnamon stick, but I normally only taste Cabernet this young, not coravined or opened. This drinks exceptionally young now but better things lie ahead in 6-10 yrs. Those of you that read my posts know I prefer well aged Cabernets. It is rare when I find a young Cabernet like this so delicious this young.
The nose is expressive & expansive. Leads with cinnamon stick, dark currants/cassis, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, dark cherries, strawberries, fruit cake, nuts, anise to licorice, mixed dark berry cola, dark chocolate, caramel, baking spices-light clove/nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, dry top soils, very light & soft savory herbaceous notes, notes of white pepper, limestone, dry crushed rocks, candied red, dark, flowers, red roses & violets.
The palate is beautiful, rich & lush with soft, rounded, velvety but dry, powdery M+ tannins. Gorgeous. Dark currants/cassis, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries as it sets, fruit cake, nuts, anise to licorice, charcoal, volcanic ash, graphite, dry tobacco w/ ash, nice used leather, light cedar, mixed dark berry cola, mix of Asian & Indian spices, steeped fruit tea, dark chocolate to chocolate pudding, milk chocolate, malt balls, caramel, baking spices-light clove/nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, cocoa powder, dry top soils, tree bark w/ sap, very light & soft savory herbaceous notes, notes of white pepper, lightly grilled meats, limestone, dry crushed rocks, candied red, dark, flowers, red roses & violets, excellent round acidity with a well tensioned/structured, very balanced at this young age, lush & elegant, polished finish that last nearly two-minutes and lands on beautiful spice & earthiness.
Every bit a $125-$150 Napa Cabernet & one of the very best Napa Cabernets values I have purchased at $49.99. — 5 months ago

Il Putto Gattinara Nebbiolo 2019
Gorgeous aromas of tart cherry, sour cherry, smoke, leather and some dead leaves. My goodness the roses are so alive. Stunning. Juicy and complex with gorgeous purity and medium bodied. That sweet, sweet Nebbiolo fruit. So silky and juicy. Amazing tannins. Brilliant. — 9 months ago

Riserva Borgofranco Gattinara Nebbiolo 2015
A very elegant wine - attenuated nose of plum/cherry. Palate is more of the same but rather mineral and filtered quite elegantly through a tannic structure buttressed by just enough acidity. The structure really shines. Long finish & miles to go. A lovely wine from @Lyle Fass 😍 — 4 years ago
