Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruit, cedar and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and currants with herb and nutty floral spice notes. Fine tannins, nice mouthfeel, well balanced with acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, mineral, spice and herbs. Nice value! A Fav! — 18 days ago

This wine was superb. I think it’s drinking really well at this time. Smooth, well-aged, classic Napa cab. Balance of fruit and secondary flavors, not too tannic. $149.99. 92 points RP. — 18 days ago

Creamy, cheesy, butter aged oakey, with tones of friendship. Would go well with a camembert, would accept a brie.. — a day ago

A beautiful diamond in the rough that smells deeply of ancient oaks upon oncorking. The acidity matches the flavor well, like a mountain breeze that wakes the senses. — 12 days ago

Grafs family minus K visit (Ho left) mom BD 5/7/22. Cab lineup through the decades. As previous. As with the’69 Martini it went well with grilled salmon. Hsing’s pick on 5/9 though it had faded a bit and the hint of sweetness had mostly disappeared. — 12 days ago

9.1

Blend of 96% Sauv Blanc with 4% Sauv Gris adding an interesting dynamic to the wine & distinctive aromas (prior to ‘18 vintage some Semillon added). Pale lemon color, citrus, tropical & floral aromas. On the palate peach, melon, herb & earthy tones, well balanced with acidity, smooth yet robust on a long finish ending rich with wet stone character. Good value! A Fav!! Very consistent! — 11 days ago
