Light bodied with medium acidity.
We had Albacore Tuna Sashimi, grilled Ling Cod and BBQ Sockeye Salmon bellies (all local and freshly caught) with this wine.

The wine served tonight is the 2016 Meerlust Rubicon Cabernet Sauvignon Blend. This is from the Meerlust Estate Stellenbosch, South Africa. The blend is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

On the nose there is cherry, strawberry, plum, green bell pepper, herbal notes, vanilla, licorice, minerals and dark rich soil.

On the palate I am getting black cherry, blackberry, strawberry, black currant, licorice, green bell pepper, vanilla, some oak, minerality and soil.

The wine is full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium + grippy mouthcoating tannins that leaves you with a ling black fruit mineral finish. Eventhough we are still in the in the midst of fall, there is a feel of winter crisp and clean on ones face. This weekend please stay safe and healthy and let us enjoy family and friends for they are what keep us strong. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago

This is always a fantastic wine for the price.
White flowers, white peach and wet stone on the nose.
Fruity and floral with golden apples, yellow peach.
Intense, round and fresh with lots of citrus and green almond on the finish. Beautiful citrus and mineral finish with one not overwhelming the other.

Summer of Reese Ling #4.Lime blossom, green pear and sage. Trocken style, lime like tartness, long acid, if this was from the Mosel I'd sh*t on it but the Fingerlakes is my childhood home! And it's substantially better than I remember the wines coming out of there three decades ago.

On Christmas Eve with family one of the wines we opened was the 2010 Château Cantemerle. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot from the Haut-Médoc on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.

On the nose there was black cherry, blackberry, leather, licorice, black pepper, cigar box and dark earth.

On the palate was notes of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, espresso, toasted oak and dark gravelly soil. This wine is full bodied with a velvety opulent mouthfeel medium to medium+ acidity and medium+ smooth fine tannins that leaves you with a ling dark fruit earthy finish. What a wonderful wine this was. The Christmas season has been one of sharing with family and friends the love and caring for one another. I hope everyone's Christmas has been the same and as always please stay safe and healthy as we move into a whole new year. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
