Whispering Bluffs Winery
Whispering Dove
Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Deep dark plum in the glass. Basically impenetrable. A touch of bricking on the thin edges. On the nose, the fruit is barely clinging on but still present. Plums and blueberries are the dominant notes here. A heavy dose of toasted cedar and green bell peppers. There’s faint floral aromas of violets along with a shock of burnt tobacco.
This is about as Napa as Napa gets. I was quite worried about how this Cab would present but it’s still alive and kicking. The end may be nigh but not quite nigh enough. Pleasant acid and well integrated tannins. Big and rich as you would expect an Oakville Cab to be but still smooth after hours of decanting. Plenty of chocolate with a dash of vanilla. The fruit on the tongue is diminished and subtle but still showing pretty well. Cherry pie and blueberry cobbler. The finish is medium length with just a touch of soft spice. This was so much fun and a great experience. Definitely mature and knocking on the door of almost gone but still good, nonetheless. — 3 years ago

Penfolds
Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2050
Had a bottle at Whispering Vine in Reno. A nice Cab/Shiraz. A bit of plum, grape, and stewed fruit on the nose with some pepper on the bud. Nice tannins with a bit of sediment. Overall a nice wine that wine well with our South Creek Pizza Shuffle Truffle pizza. — a year ago

Domaines Sacha Lichine Rock Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend
Apricots - some nice fruit flavor. But alcohol is out of balance. I prefer whispering angel of Declan’s roses. — 3 years ago
Domaine de Triennes
Vin de Pays du Var Cinsault Blend Rosé 2013
Proper French rose with the strawberry notes to go along with it. Reminds me of a budget version of whispering Angel. — 5 years ago

Minerality, crispness, mostly dry…a profile I love. I was pleasantly surprised by this find at Fred Meyer!
