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.

Last had the 2020, this was a notch lower but still represents great QPR. Might just need some time in bottle to resolve — 2 months ago

Bodega Noemia de Patagonia

Rio Negro Malbec 2020

Medium ruby , violet ruby rim . Lively and freshly fruited , wild strawberry , red plum , spiced cherry . On the palate more of the spiced cherry , red plum and raspberry notes . Light herbal touch . Quite fresh acidity and slightly gritty tannins . Red cherry , herbal medium length finish . This is showing well but will probably age quite well over the next 5-8 years . Really good freshness with elegance and drive . — 3 months ago
