Davis Family Vineyards
Rockpile Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Sonoma County, California, USA
Nose has ripe blueberry, over-ripe blackberry, ripe plum, blackberry jam, faint anise, dry cigar, faint wood smoke and a bag of green & red peppers.
Palate has ripe plum, blackberries, black cherry, prune, old chocolate, faint moist earth and light artificial sugar.
Incredibly smooth, light tannins, but what an amazing red blend! Such an easy drinker, but coupled with a great CA vintage, a total win.
Cleaned the grill today, never ever done this in March in the Berkshires! Clean grill and warm weather equals an early start to the grilling season; beef flap steak from Kinderhook Farm (Valatie, NY) tonight, 135°F with 15m rest, beautiful pair to this wine.
41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc, 21% Malbec, 8% Merlot & 4% Petit Verdot

Blend of Cab sav, cab franc, Malbec, and a little merlot and petit Verdot. Medium plus tannins with low acid. Restrained red fruit nose with fruit forward palate. Can stand up to hearty foods.

Great and balanced Bordeaux blend. Full body and big nose that opens in a jammy aroma of blackberry and dark cherry, with a nice acidity. Only enhanced by the company and the scenery...

This is JUST what the weatherman ordered. Decadent blend with power and finesse. 41% CS is the power however 26% CF and 21% Malbec are not to be silenced. Gorgeous color concentration, wonderful mouth coating fruit of black cherry, ripe plum, dark red cherry and dark chocolate. 8% Merlot and 4% PV bring a silky finishing texture that reaffirms why I effen love Guy Davis and his family's wines. What a spectacular blend!
