Happy Birthday Christina & Hedy.

Dessert Cabernet.

Nice ripe, red fruits & vintage tonight but, needs another 5-10 years to be all it can be!

Enjoyed at PNV ‘19 during the infamous wine table during lunch. Complex layers of dark red ripe fruits, licorice and toasted oak. Incredibly long finish.

Wow. This is Coltrane. A massive wine with sheets of flavors pouring through. Blackberry and cassis nose with cedar and spice. Palate mirrors with deep fruit, length and grip, yet smooth. The cedar/spice/caramel finish is stunning.

Delicious fruit forward GIII. Big dark fruits. Sweet tannins. Tannins are well integrated, and drinking well now. Don't wait.

Wow is initial impression! Massive tannin structure that opened after 1 hour in the glass. Beautifull black fruit component , great mouth feel. Probably the wine of the night, even with the Aubert and J Rochioli Pinots and the Maya 92... I give this a Commanding 98+ Rating in my book! Thanks Mr Larry!

I don't drink too much Cab but wow. Not in your face, just a seamless wine across the board.
