Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 2019

Excellent. 2013 was more complex and evolved given the years but this will get there. Lots of precision and power. Really great. Tasted at Harlan Estate — 16 days ago

Realm Cellars

The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Big wine. Very ripe red and black fruit, but of minerality. Very expressive. Very easy drinking. Tannins have softened nicely but still give a grippy mouthfeel which leads to a long finish. — 6 days ago

Marchesi Antinori

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Blockbuster that will score higher in a couple of years. New oak is very prominent, as well as the fruit and the tannins. This one needs time to get it all together but… superb wine! — a month ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

I had this a week ago but didn’t take any notes at all at a friends tasting last Sunday afternoon. Have always been a huge fan of Dominus and this was from an exceptional vintage. I recall an excellent left bank Cabernet dominant style but presented as a Napa style - rich and plush but not overly so. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 19 days ago
