Tried this again about 8 months later. Sentinel Cabernet Sauvignon is named for the shield-shaped block that casts a watchful eye on the entrance to Monte Rosso Vineyard. Deep Ruby with aromas of rich dark fruit, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry, blackberry and currants with vanilla oak and toasty nutty notes. Fine soft tannins, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with berry fruit, cacao and toasty vanilla oak. Nice! — 2 years ago
A powerful blend, fruit forward. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot in delicious balance. Raton affirmed 9/15/20 on Daou Mountain. — 4 years ago
Barbera as it should be. Generous, rustic, intense, honest. It's a wine that looks at you in the eye, speaks of rolling hills, countryside, farm animals and good values. Beautiful nose and excellent length. The great work in the vineyard shows glorious in the glass. Enjoy with no limits ! — 5 years ago
Historic style of making champagne, eye of the partridge is something between a Blanc de Noirs and Rose. Such an appetizing rose gold color. Pastry/biscuit, strawberries & cream & clementine on the nose, much more lithe, tense and bright on the palate.
Honestly it’s hard to come up with descriptors because it’s just a joy to drink.
Disgorged last year on Valentine’s Day.
I’m really digging the Vesselle wines these days and they are so reasonably priced for the quality. — 2 years ago
Perfect with a grilled steak. Plenty of time for further aging. Great tannins with a long berry finish. — 3 years ago
2009 Vintage. This wine has aged well. A touch of leather, spice and fading fruit. Nice wine for a $39 price years ago. Great with prime rib eye. Very enjoyable. — 2 years ago
