Holbrook-Mitchell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

9.4

It didn’t go well with turkey—what actually does?—but damn this was excellent. Deep, complex, tannin very well managed, surprising acidity. 14.4% alc. Second killer bottle of this. It’s going to be hard to leave the last one alone for a few more years! — a month ago

Ripe, juicy berry and spice flavours from a winemaker who knows what he is doing. A classic Barossa shiraz with many years of good drinking. — 3 years ago

Subdued nose, berry, some pepper.
Better a day later. More subtle flavors. Very good. $9 — 6 years ago

Perfect cork.

Fantastic ripe plum notes to the nose and palate. I don't know the exact blending percentages of the grapes, but assume CS is dominant since it's listed first on the back label. But, the Merlot is most prominent at this age and it's singing a beautiful song tonight after 3H in the decanter. Last bottle from release purchase in April 2006, winery direct. — 2 months ago

Haven’t seen a Rosenbaum in a long time. A few decades ago, their single vineyard Zins were a go-to for me

And nice to see a post from you! It’s been a while!

@Tom Casagrande Work & Personal life has been incredibly busy the past few months, posting has slipped down the priority list unfortunately. I've still got some of their single vineyard Zinfandel's, with similar age to this post, hiding away in the cellar.
