Another wine from Kimberly that we love. Purists and traditionalists should fall back; this is not for them.
She rubbed and polished her art against other wine giants, such as Bevan, and it shows stylistically. Jammy,, exuberant and decadent. It’s such an imaginative example of a Bdx blend - excellence in a glass.

Nice wine definitely needs a couple of hours of decanting.

Not blowing me away. A bit syrupy unfocused and disappointing. Narrow profile. Blackberry and a little bit spicy. Resonates well though. I don’t think I would get this one again.

Composed of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Sugarloaf Mountain Proprietary Red
For $60.00 its got something going on. 15.9 abv but not a fruit bomb, short decant & bbq required. Can’t see paying release of $110.00 though. Thanks for the tip

Big, plush and decadent. Give this more time to unfurl. Merlot/cab Franc blend.

Big black fruit on the nose with a tar finish with a lot of heat (15.9%)

Nice red blend from Morgado! A little lean when compared the outpost cab we had before it.. but that’s probably not a fair comparison! Solid wine nonetheless👍🏻

I know I robbed the cradle on this guy and didn't give it anywhere near enough air, but still exceptional! Big nose of tar and vanilla, with a powerful finish. Great fruit, great texture, and a great compliment to Xmas Eve dinner!

Big black fruit nose tar on the finish long and dark some notes of cedar and black ink. Kimberly hit it out of the park!
