9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, light oak, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Zinfandel from Oakville in Napa Valley. Rich, fruit forward and entertaining. Elegant and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. The high alcohol is not too noticeable at this point.

Right out of the bottle it feels like a light Napa Cabernet, but gets into its own after 2 hours in the decanter, when more red fruits show up, and it feels more like a Zinfandel. So interesting.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is easy drinking and a great sipping wine. A good party wine too.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black fruits with cedar and chocolate notes.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light earth, herbs, mediterranean spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Complex and nicely balanced, fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 to 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 96+ point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were dry farmed and aged in (80% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Pretty nose of blackberries, black currants, black plums, cedar, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, herbs, eucalyptus, light spices and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, plums, currants, cedar, licorice, peppercorn, coffee, cola, light vanilla, tobacco, herbs and light earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, red chili pepper and tangy cherries.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville is already drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced, complex and engaging. Elegant, tangy and rich. Soft and smooth.

Delicious right out of the bottle, easy to drink, and very approachable. As it opens up, more earth notes show up.

Showing a great nose. Spicy and entertaining.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years, and showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent, and so much better with age.

A great sipping wine that paired nicely with my Leg of Lamb dish.

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 24 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Colour is very pale with just the lightest hint of coral pink. It’s off-dry with lots of ripe tropical fruits on the noise and palate - cantaloupe, peach, and a hint of floral. It’s a very interesting blend of grapes. — 7 months ago

So delicious! High end but it was on sale so I tried it and then snagged a few more! If you haven’t tried out of Sonoma County, you really should. It surprised me! — 6 years ago

Pale lemon in color.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing limes, green apples, gooseberries, spices, light grapefruits, herbs and light earth.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

This is a very tasty Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Yountville in Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Crisp and refreshing. Nicely balanced, tangy and engaging.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and so far the 2022 vintage was my favorite.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine. A good pool wine too.

100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes were aged in neutral French oak barrels for 9 months on the lees.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Probably about at the end of this 2009 unless you super carefully store it. But it's very interesting, Dark toffee, caramel, kind of Madeira type notes. — 4 months ago

At Mark Paul NYD Party old Cab series. Continuing with old Cab series. Equally surprising as the McDowell but a totally different profile, with more oxidative notes as expected for such an age and with rounder texture and shorter finish — 7 months ago

This vintage just keeps getting better and better. Spice and vanilla notes. Drinking with some spicier food. Pairs nicely with it. — 6 years ago
