Eyes right for just a mo... pasta and sage with butternut squash. Prep’d for my wife by yours truly 🙂
Now onto the wine... Visited Eminent and it was closed, but they threw me a bone. Looks like a cab in the glass, but the nose gives the game away. This is tightly wound and requires aging. Beautiful fruit support the tannins perfectly. Oak profile is neutral. A strong effort which is below my price pain threshold.

At the vineyard for a vertical tasting with Kathleen, Jay and Josie Barton, Jenny Rhodes. "Yummy fruit". Much warmer and complex than the younger vintages. Nice full mouthfeel.

Smooth and lovely. Nose is amazing! It’s delicious on its own or would recommend charcuterie accompaniment. Wonderful outdoor tasting area and experience❣️
