Au revoir France. Little gem on Pritchard Hill for 1/3 of the price of its neighbors.

Nov 26th, 2015Last of these enjoyed tonight and I must say that I was really quite impressed. My last impression of this wine ended in an NR rating, but I think I'm ready to give this one a 91. This wine started rather flabby in the front. This is a parcel of three Lake Hennessy / Pritchard Hill vineyards so in hindsight I probably should have kept the cork in this one for another 10 years. Still pretty delicious tonight. Dark, thick, blackberry cassis, hint of iodine. Middle of this wine shows a gritty, terroir-driven note. The finish is where this one kind of lacks. A little acidic, mature black fruit, black pepper, but really not very long....at all. I think this one could benefit from a couple more years in the bottle, but not sure how much more this one would improve in the bottle, if at all.

Very classy Cab from St. Helena. Beautiful color with oak and toasted vanilla notes. Very smooth with balanced heat on the finish. Some jam but not overly so. Perfect evening wine.
