Rutherford Dust Vineyards Zinfandel 2022

Opened some time prior to service; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 Zinfandel pours a ruby color with a nearly transparent core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of Bing cherry, black plum, red and purple flowers, tobacco and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. To my palate, this needs some years on its side to gain some complexity but the components are there. Drink now to experience its fruit dominated youth; best from 2027-2042. — 4 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Opened sometime prior service; enjoy over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep garnet/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black fruits: blackberries, currants, plum, mixed flowers, tobacco, some Rutherford dust and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Solid. Drink now through 2041. — 3 months ago

👃 is incredible. Black and blue fruit + olive.
Medium+ body, chewy mouthfeel. Blackberry, currant, black cherry, touch of dust, and acidity that is Corison. This is my favorite Napa Corison. Different than the ‘14s, ‘16’s, and 18’s that I love. Thanks

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

We had the 2010 Vintage on 9/6/21. A very good, but not great Napa floor Cab. There were tastes of blackberry, blueberry and oak. This time, I did not detect the Rutherford dust. — 4 years ago
