Toasting the new (and former) President’s recent Election Victory. Deep ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black plum/currant/raspberry fruit with a touch of leather and smoke. Same fruits on the palate with touches of black pepper and dark chocolate. Medium finish that is a bit oaky and slightly bitter. A bit thin from a textural, tannin and mouthfeel perspective. Reasonable vintage. — 14 days ago

Beast of the East vs. Best of the West….taste off
VA Monticello Petit Verdot against a Cali Napa Valley Cab.
Pairing: American Wagyu Strip, Home Fries, Mushroom Ron Zacapa 23 glaze.
As much as I love my Napa Cabs, the edge went to the PV. 93 - 92. — 8 months ago

Stunning… Beautiful concentration of a variety capable of dense blackberry beautifulness :) I would say I age this to perfection with patients! — 6 months ago

Even though 18 was a dramatically wet vintage, Michael knows how to coax enough tannin and acid from the rain logged clusters. Sorting must’ve been the real key here as the blend retained quite a bit of structure associated with other quality vintages. While a bit mellow and buttery, it was still very pleasant with the floral component. — 10 months ago
