Very good napa cab - bought at the winery in 2023 — 2 years ago
very confused 🙈 tasting.
black olives and black pepper screamed syrah. red fruit and jaminess called for granache. but medium + acidity added confusion.
i was gambling a south rhone blend but something felt very Spanish. 🧩
this is mostly mensia 🍇 with bastardo and granache tintorera.
medium + acidity
medium - tannins
medium + body
zippy fresh red fruit with some raspberry jam, black olives, black pepper and a bit of oak spices and green pepper on the side.
medium + 🎯
perfect bistro (or the Spanish equivalent term) wine.
paired lovely with roasted 🥔, veggie hot dogs and cabbage with tahini and feta style cheese.
worked great with the salty feta.
2 hours later it opened up nicely with tannins felt more and a silkier texture.
very hard to stop drinking it, slowly. — 5 years ago
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits with cedar, licorice, metals, light earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.
Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and light black tea.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and somewhat subdued. Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Robert Parker 93 points.
Elegant and good by itself or with food.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.

A truly representation of an Old Vine Zin (Mohr Fry) from Acampo, Lodiis all about. Made out of 90+ year-old vines which provides a great amount of concentrated ripe cherry and abundance rich ripen red fruit flavors. Persistent and lingering to perfection point on the finish. Although is 15.8% abv, is warm with enough balance and structure. Oaky can be perceived medium-low as well. One of the top dogs of Macchia wines. — a year ago
2018 Kinsman Eades Anjea… admittedly very young and still a little tannic, but unfurled a bit after time in the glass with a great nose and flavors of blackberries, blueberry pie, black cherries.. a hint of iron and herbs in the background! This will only get better with time! Even better the following day!! — 2 years ago
Dark ruby color with a nose of blackberries, cassis, potpourri, a touch of strawberries, leather, vanilla, and an interesting sea air freshness. Full-bodied wine with amazing fruit. The tannins are definitely there, but not so overwhelming as to close the wine and kill the fruit. Finish is long and pleasant at over a minute. This is my type of wine! Celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary with this. Couldn’t have made a better choice. — 4 years ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of black fruit, thyme, bell pepper and baking spices. Blackberry on the palate, herbs and earthy finish.
