Peterson Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

9.5

This has remained steadfast since purchase. I advised @Dawn E. back in 2021 to consume her 18’s, but in this case, I was wide of the mark. Very impressive and enjoyable. Flamboyant nose of cassis, with a bold tannic structure on the mid palate. Finishes long and racy. No signs of aging and zero rush to consume. — 2 months ago

Big fan of these but the cost has gone up significantly on some of them

Yeah, @Norman Gennaro. Frankly, Sinegal, Venge, La Pelle tip the scales at half the price, or close. I prefer to go there these days.

Black berry aroma and taste. Smooth tannins and mild acidity. Just a tad tart on the finish. — 2 years ago

Nose of raisins and licorice. First sip was too oaky for me, but I hate tasting any oak. With food , much nicer. Nice rounded fruit, mouthfeel. With a buzz, even better! Score keeps going up. Blend is 58% carignane, 23 Grenache, 15 Syrah, and 4 petite sirah. — 4 years ago

Oakley Road Vineyard Mataro 2018

Adriana Fabbro

9.2

Mourvèdre Madness Monday. Common threads: tart blackberry, characteristic rustic meatiness/ferrous quality and reduction.

Mataro from Zin master Joel Peterson. Richest, most forward and fullest bodied of the bunch by far. Extracted but balanced. Tannins are plush and wooly. Fresh violets, smoke and licorice. — 4 years ago

I love your notes…what’s a wooly tannin? 😊

Adriana Fabbro

@Eric big time tannins that are grippy and mouth coating, but in a pleasant way. They border on rustic/rough, but are just ripe enough (often found in big extracted wines that are done well). I think of wine textures - especially tannin - in terms of the fabric (silk, velvet, even velour) and the way it feels against your skin, so wool seemed like a natural extension of that. One of my WSET instructors used the term once and it has stuck with me ever since.

A 25 year old gem pulled by Joel Peterson himself. I was one of the lucky ones to snag a mixed case of his cellar selections from 1991-2013 for BD16. Still going strong with such incredibile fruit. Gonna share them of course but sneak a Coravin taste here and there … — 4 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, floral herbs and mineral spice. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with notes of tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb and a savory earthy character. Nice! — 8 months ago
