Hess Select North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Probably twenty years back, I tried this wine and absolutely loved it. Over the years, I have revisited, and quality seems to vary greatly. I saw this wine discounted to $11 today and thought with 4 years of age, I would give it a whirl! This is delicious! It is leaning towards being extracted, but not! On the nose rich fruit of cherry, strawberries, and blackberry; white pepper, cedar, and granite! Tastes of Licorice Nibs, blackberries, Bing cherry, graham cracker, pencil lead, and crushed wet rock. Ninety minute decant. — 5 days ago

@Severn Goodwin absolutely! I am realist, it is the only thing that makes any sense! A great conversation piece as well!

It's THE most practical decanter IMO, they're inexpensive, and almost impossible to break.

Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and complex spice, 76% Cab Sauvignon, 22% Malbec & 3% Petite Verdot . On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, integrated vanilla oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and soft earthy notes, will still develop! A nice fillet mignon with Cabernet gravy will go well. — 3 months ago
