Métisse Jumping Goat Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

Opened and decanted for 1 hour before tasting. Clean long cork that was soaked to the edge through.

Aromas of wild forest floor. As it opened, fruit began to emerge

This wine tasted delicious. I don’t even remember specific flavors. It was just very good and easy to drink while also having depth and structure to hold up to black pepper chicken thighs.

Hope my other bottles of this wine shine the same

CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Nose of ripe blackberry. Ripe blackberry, plum, hints of pepper, green pepper, vanilla. Very nice mouthfeel, tannins softened yet powerful, well balanced acidity. Medium finish. Simple fruit forward Napa cab, not complex. Nevertheless, is a very nice ripe big fruit Napa cab. Pretty much PNP now. — 2 months ago

Le Ginglet Arbois Pupillin Trousseau 2018

Longtime favorite and I snap up this foxy number whenever I see it. Crunchy strawberry and herbs, a bit of animal and yeast at the end but not too much to compromise the freshness. I don’t think this ages and should be drunk up but that doesn’t make it any less special — 3 months ago
