Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, sweet oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes. — 8 days ago

Niagara Peninsula Cab Franc is hard to beat. More proof of that in this bottle. — 6 months ago

Others liked this better but I’m saying it had a slight raisin aftertaste to me which has shown up recently. I’m thinking to drink these quick but to be fair they have not been in a cold cellar so expected a faster age. — a year ago

Earthy and brambly; seems tight? but 8 yrs in bottle should be sufficient…. maybe there’s just not all that much going on. Underlying cherry and red liquorice, but very background. Perhaps it’ll open in a couple hours… — 9 months ago
