Loren Crossing

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

9.1

2023 vintage. Medium body. Dark fruit mated with grip. Good balance with a modicum of richness at the start. Resto cost $15 a bottle on 3 cases. This is easily the most ridiculous, cheap chicken, Napa Cab offer I've come across in a decade. Word in the barrel room is that this is declassified juice from a major Cabernet player/participant that can't be tied into this effort. Tasted their Sauvignon Blanc (and I intently dislike SB) as well and it rocked for a similar price. Approx 5k cases of this Cab made so you might actually come across it. if you do, grab a case. 03.21.25. — a month ago

Gorgeous, a young Sophia Loren, classic beauty with pure beam of cherry fruit mingled with dried herbs, olive, damp Earth and almost a subtle minty & licorice note. Just the right amount of juicy acidity & tannins - so cohesive & balance like a Ballerina. Need more of this type of Chianti Classico in my life.

Wow. Amazing. Fresh as a daisy.

Nose is almost savory.

Palate is vibrant. Bright cherries. Deep. Delicious. cherry licorice.

Needs an hour decant.

Just had 3 days later from a Saran wrapped decanter. Omg. nose is platonic ideal of Nebbiolo. Palate is perfect. Insane texture. Cherry perfume. Almost orgasmic. High end burgundy elegance. #

Has this elegant deliciousness like gc burgundy. A hint of sluttiness like DRC RSV. But still elegant. Astonishing.

Sophia Loren. This is Fucking Sophia Loren.

So delicious but also so elegant. Oh. My. God.

Day 3.

I abused this wine and it’s fucking brilliant.

If this guy played the game he’d be top 20. Maybe top 10.
