Opened this last night as well since I knew it was day 2 wine.
The Mascot & this M-Etain even on day 2 need Steak 🥩 so I’m doing a quick thaw and Sous Vide & sear. So I probably shouldn’t have scored until I had the beef ready. Oh well, I’ll up the score if my thinking is correct. — 3 days ago

Wine Spectator rated the ‘21 with an impressive 93 points and this Merlot was featured as #25 on the Top 100 wines of 2024.

flavor notes include blackberry, dark, cherry cedar, and that earthy Napa finish

I recommend this read to anyone who can find the 2021 vintage. Perhaps other years too. — a month ago

Took awhile to open but once it did this is a pretty decent Cab - nose is full of fruit - blackberries - palate is a little sparkly, slightly underwhelms vs the nose but still solid — 2 months ago

Lovely wine but could pass for a hearty sauv blanc — 2 months ago

Double decant for sediment(lots of chunky sediment) and pour. A remarkable dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: expressive perfumed notes of cherry, currants, dark olives, worn leather, wet forest floor, smoked meat. Taste: silky, savory, elegant wine with fading dried cherries, tobacco, dark chocolate, bell pepper, earth, and a nice mineral, espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Never disappointed with well aged Bosche or Sycamore wines — a month ago

Lovely mature Cabernet fruit, structure, yet seems fully mature or close to mature, a real treat to taste an older CA Cabernet with age (@ 12.5% ABV to boot), lovely!! — 2 months ago

Pop and pour. A brilliant medium gold color. On the nose: lemon, grilled pear, crushed stone, apricot, caramel, and honey. Taste: chalky, lean acid driven style with pear, steely minerality, green apple, saline, orange/lemon rind, and a medium plus finish. YUM! My favorite Napa chardonnay. — 20 days ago
