Enjoying a wonderful 2012 Mending Wall Napa Cabernet. Young but spot on tonight. Even better then when we drank at the winery in July

Really tasty! Blue fruits, cedar, mild tobacco and a pleasing finish. Has improved a good deal since tasting in June at the winery. Great young now and likely great later.

Officially winter here and I immediately wanted to enjoy a bigger wine. It’s funny how the temperature outside can easily influence my wine choices. First time trying this one.
Mending Wall is a collaborative effort between three families that includes winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, Outpost Winery (Frank Dotzler) and Pulido-Walker (Mark Pulido & Donna Walker). It is located on the edge of St. Helena, at the foothills of Howell Mountain. The name comes from a Robert Frost poem. There is a line in the poem ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
The 2017 is approachable now. Big, yet soft Cab. No need in waiting years, enjoy now with a short decant. Worth mentioning that it had a lot of sediment for a relatively young wine.
Shorter days, colder nights, bigger wines. Happy weekend.
