Mercury Head Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Testing quite nice after 17 years. This 2007 vintage from this noted California cab producer was quite impressive. The harmony between tannins and fruits still very much evident. I might even guess that it may have a few more years on it. Nice treat. The last of my Mercury Head. Sigh….. — 12 days ago

Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Slightly lighter than our normal Napa Cabs and softer notes on the nose, but definitely worth adding to the “yes” list. Fruit forward with little to no bite, smooth not velvety. — 12 days ago

Mannequin California Chardonnay 2018

Okay okay okay it is slightly heavy on the alcohol with 15 % and lacking some acidity to balance that out however, the nose is to die for. Tropical fruit, butter, mango, pear, so the only thing then is the PQR and for that the bottle and the label come in play. Works for me, from time to time. — 3 months ago

Is there a story behind the label?

@Peter van den Besselaar from lokiwine.co.uk. “When asked what came first, the wine or the label, in case of Mannequin fit was a song that came first in the case of Mannequin: Nicki Minaj’s Roman’s Revenge and the line ‘You at a standstill, mannequin’. Phinney remembers thinking about the mannequin’s purpose in representing human form to showcase clothing. ‘Clothing, much like wine, evolves over time to reflect trends, nature and creative whims, yet the mannequins always remain static’ he says in the interview with The Drinks Business”
