Ensemble Lock Vineyard Petit Verdot Blend 2015

Ming L
9.0

The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.

Margalit

Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

2014 vintage. A blend of CS and Petit Syrah from the Kadita vineyard in Upper Gallilee. Dark inky color with black berries nose and a matured dry plum note. Smooth and balanced. We had it during a barbecue and probably have missed some of the attributes of this fine wine. — 4 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Three Palms Vineyard Merlot 1983

Classic older Napa Merlot, the CS really shows and still provides very nice structure, admittedly a leaner Napa vintage, but still fresh and nicely balanced w/acidity, solid 3 Palms!! — 4 years ago

Doubleback

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Zoom event with Drew Bledsoe and Josh McDaniels. Vertical from ‘07, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16, ‘17, ‘17 estate, and ‘18. All were exceptionally smooth and silky with good depth of fruit. Notes on the ‘17: 87% CS, 7% Merlot, 6% petite Verdot. Tobacco and raspberry on the nose, blackberry, raspberry and oak on the plate with a long fruity finish. The least earthy of the bunch tonight. Still young, will benefit from additional age. — 3 years ago
