Mclarens On The Lake

Robledo Family Winery

El Rey Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a reddish rim.

Very pretty nose of sweet red and black fruits, cedar, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, light cola and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and fat legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, tobacco, licorice, light herbs and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Spicy and tangy. Showing an elegant mouthfeel with nice complexity.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle, but a little hot at the back of the throat.

I had this vintage 4 years ago and it was better then, so drink up.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with hard cheeses and crackers.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45.

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2020

2020 vintage. Wow. Medium ruby color. Red fruit aroma. Flavors of raspberry and strawberry jam, herbal note (lovage?), some bell pepper with moderate acid, little tannin depending on the temperature. Give it a moment, it will open up after 10 minutes in your glass. — 2 years ago

Really interesting 11 years of age. Honey, butterscotch, apricot, some flowers but a secondary flavor type of wine. Chard is balanced by semillion. Tasting good. — 2 years ago

Hawk and Horse Vineyards

Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Last bottle of this vintage and think it should be drunk now. It will likely last another 10 years but may not be same quality. Decanted this for 30-40 minutes and it opened up slightly. Very smooth on tannins and mellow. — 2 years ago
