Bancroft Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Blake had this 7 years ago

Single vineyard Beringer. Still incredibly young- tastes like it was bottled yesterday. All dark fruit and oak.

Blue fruit, floral, cinnamon bark. Great flavor mid palate

Pretty good but not mind blowing mountain-fruit Napa cab.

A bit disappointing

At first, feel lots of tanning, isn't it 16 years vintage? But 30 minutes, started changing, one hour, quite good aroma with a bit sweet and a bit burned, with vintage taste meeting with ram. Mid body, so it has elegancy.@, X, 180427

This Howell Mountain 2006 was an endless surprise of initially licorice and then raspberries and plum with a dry finish. Awesome but probably late to open.

So smooth and complex on the pallet. A full mouth of velvet and blackberries. On the nose there is predominately black fruit (blackberry, black cherry, black currant along with a hint of vanilla. Medium - on tannins.

Opened this with dinner. Classic Napa flavors and structure. Loved it.

2003 vintage excellent Cabernet - dry and balanced
