Aphex Ecotone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021



Notes from 98 point LPB are more in line for me than others.
Great with a Wagyu Fillet Mignon this time.

The 2021 Aphex Cabernet Sauvignon, co-fermented with 19% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, comes from Ecotone Vineyard, straddled between St. Helena and Howell Mountain, and new for this year. It skips out with bright, cheery notes of redcurrant jelly, freshly crushed blackcurrants, and rose oil leading to undertones of boysenberries, aniseed, forest floor, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate vibrates with lively black and red berry layers supported by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with loads of minerally sparks.

Well TRB & Mike Smith make a lot as well because of their talents, so I don’t mind that. The price point holds me back from buying more. This was an auction bottle so quite a bit less than release.

@Paul T HB : Yes, and while I don’t buy much of their wine, Nigel is certainly starting to trend toward that group. My comment isn’t toward his wines being made in a style I don’t enjoy (I do, I fact) but more because it creates a style that I can now find across any of his labels.

Don’t disagree with any of this. Owner are consistent. They hire Winemakers that sell & fetch bottle price. 🤷‍♂️

Anjea Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 Kinsman Eades Anjea… admittedly very young and still a little tannic, but unfurled a bit after time in the glass with a great nose and flavors of blackberries, blueberry pie, black cherries.. a hint of iron and herbs in the background! This will only get better with time! Even better the following day!! — 2 years ago
