The Sisters Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

9.5

This small Calistoga producer falls largely under the radar. I am thankful. The 12 vintage brings such fruit. However, this 12 Sisters rides the fence of 12 & 13. Shows dark currents, concreted mouthfeel in addition to its ripe, rich opulence.

The nose ascends with rich dark, purple, blue fruits, dark spice, violets framed in lavender for days.

The palate is ripe, ruby, lush, concentrated fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, boysenberries, very dark cherries, creamy raspberries, in & out strawberries & blueberries. Big, heated, dark spice-box, round, meaty, sweet tannins cigar ash, led pencil, tarriness, anise, moist, fresh tobacco, black licorice & cola, dark, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, vanilla, rich soil w/ dry leaves, dry, crush rocks/limestone, dry herbs-bay leaves, sage, parsley, notes of eucalyptus bark shavings, tree bark w/ hints of sap, touch of black sandalwood to barrel shavings, pepper, moist, volcanic clay, fresh & withering; dark, purple, red, blue floral bouquet framed in violets & lavender, excellent acidity with a lush, rich, big, round & meaty structure, still shows great tension, well balanced with endless polish & finish. 10 years of life ahead…properly stored. Wine post 4,600.

Such a deal at the Benchmark Bin Sale.

@Severn Goodwin Don’t think anyone is. It’s been pretty defunct for the last half-decade at least.

According to wine searcher, The Côte d'Or and Chablis – and Champagne – dominate Chardonnay searches to such an extent that it's unfair to bracket wines from elsewhere in the same class for this particular list. Only one non-French wine appears in our 50 most searched-for Chardonnays, and even then it appears in 49th place.

This Rudd is completely different story though, I wouldn’t pay anywhere near release but auction price is perfect. I’ve bought 18 bottles of this 08 in the past year, all fantastic Burgundy style wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Soft, supple and voluptuous, the 2012 is a great choice for drinking while some of the more structured vintages rest comfortably in the cellar. Sweet mocha and spice notes wrap around the silky, seamless finish. @Severn Goodwin @Paul T- Huntington Beach — 2 years ago
