Cimarossa

Rian Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Wins the award for black cork of the month. This bottle was opened about 3 hours before dinnertime and was allowed to sit and breathe. Rian showing a teeny tiny bit of age. This 2008 poured a maroon color with violet tones. The nose was cinnamon, blueberry, grilled meat, blackberry, herbs. The entry is blackberry cassis, herbs although definitely cassis dominated. Power, depth, complexity all there. Still quite a bit of stiff toasty tannin on the finish. Rian is starting to gain my respect, although Levante is still my favorite. This wine was definitely singing tonight. — 9 years ago

Cimarossa

Riva di Ponente Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

A definite 94 tonight, with some stiff competition but still held itself well and was several people's WOTN. This wine is a darker expression of cab at this point. Lots of blackberry cassis, blueberry, and truffle in the entry and middle. The wine seemed to almost get a little more youthful in the middle and finish, and I was very glad that it was enjoyed tonight along with a 99 Rudd, a 98 Phelps Bacchus, and a 95 Togni. This wine will continue to benefit from some additional time in the bottle. Very happy that I opened this one tonight for the group. Compared to the Levante, this Ponente seemed to express itself much earlier without as much of a decant. — 8 years ago

This is a 9.4+ for me. At 10yrs old, I would have guessed MAYBE 4-5 if tasting blind. These Cimarossa wines are absolutely massive, though this opened quicker than the one Mark opened earlier this month. Dark fruits here...blueberry, fresh squeezed blackberries, lots of cedar. The palate here is very dense and rich. Stellar.
