Sep 13th, 2015Sass, Christie's Cuvee PN (2008)
Blend of Walnut Ridge and Wild Winds (only vineyards on property)
Second to last bottle from harvest. Drank with Mac, with Monday night steaks 7/1/19
Takes a little time to open, still lush. Less nose than expected: dark fruit and potting soil. On the palate lush and concentrated, with notes of stewed cherry, hints of cranberry, violet, earth, green, and a medium finish with surprisingly decent grip. Slightly unbalanced acid and low on fruit, may be hitting its age cap

May 22nd, 2016I drank this in a RV about 1 mile from the Sass winery last week. Only problem with it is that when the bottle is empty there is no more. Very "cool" and vibrant. Nice stone-fruity and berry.
