Freakin cool wine!

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages.

Mid weight, fairly tight but pretty aromatics emerge after some air. Lots of minerality, cherries and black currants, cedar, graphite, tobacco. Classically styled, big time potential. Plan to pick up a few more and check in again in 5-10 years.

I was wrong. This is delicious, and has crunchy red fruit with some cassis and classic cab flavors, and has zingy acidity, but not at the expense of body or vanillin. Call it a modern middleweight and be happy.

Sonoma Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, a rare wine to run across as this is Pinot Noir territory. I like the idea of it and while this is crafted well, raised well, it's a little lacking on the persistence on the finish. Definitely worth checking out, and keeping an eye on this up and coming producer.
Currants, red cherry, cedar, pepper and spice, with fine and subtle tannin.

Friday lunch mystery wine. Could have easily mistaken for a coastal Syrah. Void of any green or under ripe notes. Very curious

Intensely tight. Delicious, but needs lots of time.
