@Ron R I will if you can muster up an appearance. Should be tasting some Hudson stuff soon-possibly Friday/tomorrow. "Ladybug," "Little Bit" and the estate chards along with the Phoenix red blend. When you stopping by? I'm there Wed-Sun.

Hi @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, in the short-term, I can’t get there mate. First, I’m in contractor hell at the moment. Second, I’m trying to scale up my business. It’s best when snow is on the ground so I can kill two birds with one stone. But I really appreciate the invite!!!

Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Paul T HB

9.4

Another 2nd day wine with 3 hour decant. Doesn’t have that typical fruit forward nose like the Sinegal. Distinctive & on par with old school Heitz. Hopefully new ownership keeps this style.
Store notes,

Lot C-91 is a new wine from Heitz, inspired by a very old one! In the fall of 1969, Joe Heitz played with creating a high-end blend of small lots from some of Heitz's top single-vineyard sites. He dubbed it "Lot C-91." Some 47 years later the current team at Heitz has once again taken select barrels of fruit from legendary sites such at Martha's (Oakville), Trailside (Rutherford) and Linda Falls (Howell Mountain), to create this Napa Valley "Super Cuvée." This wine beautifully showcases the incredible 2016 vintage in Napa, which I think will go down as one of the all-time greats. — 3 years ago

Great stuff. I’m with you on hoping they keep the style.

I had the 2016 a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I was too impatient and only gave it an hour

Swirling violets. As this opens it reveals more and more candied floral notes. Clean and suave with silky tannins. Really pretty, just subacid and a little sweet on the finish for my taste. — 4 years ago

9.5

Outstanding example of Cali Pinot. Even more so since this is 2012 vintage. Overripe cherries and coffee notes explode on the nose. The palate displays crunchy black fruits along with syrop de cassis. Superb grainy tannins combine with bright acidity. A reference point in Sonoma/Cali.

Year isn’t over! Got 2 more days. Detecting low expectations for the next two days? 🤪

Ron R

@WC Fields, well, I had lined up wines wines that we had quaffed previously, and because of that, the die was cast. Besides, I rarely tasted a wine once and come to such conclusions. I think a good product must also display consistency. 🥳
