Nice, extracted style

This wine comes on with a bit too much oak for me. Bright cherries and spice on the nose are obscured by the wood effect, but it’s not so pronounced on the palate. There’s great fruit here when it shines through. Firm tannins beg for meat. Sausages? Bolognese sauce?

One of the best around at this time. Had a bottle before it was released. Look for this to be way better than the 2009 or 2013. Michael has outdone herself this time!

The oak on the palate is sweet and tasty with generous red fruit and holiday spices. The tannins grip enough, but not too hard. The finish carries some rosemary to a lengthy end. Roasted chicken and potatoes, with the potatoes burnt just a bit is what you want with this.

Pleasant Coravin stab. Wet tar, burnt tart plums and a whiff of spearmint. Nice oak on the nose and palate. Smooth. Nice surprise on a Sunday night.

A genuine surprise in how much we enjoyed this Amador Co Barbara. Complex and satisfying sip of wine.
