Rock Wall Wine Co.
The Palindrome California Tannat 2016
Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — 5 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Mending Wall
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Best vintage I’ve tasted. More balanced and a lot smoother than 13,14,15. A bright wine in a very tragic fire year — 4 years ago
Matthew Cohen
This is just such a distinctive and delicious wine. Yellow flowers.
Nose: so mineral and nicely tropical. So silvaner. Amazing typicity
Palate is stone fruits, minerals. So juicy. Great acidity.
Amazing with food. Just makes a good evening great. An hour in you get the wall of flavor. Dense yellow fruits mineral acidity all hit you like a lunch in the face all at once. Magnificent. Rich. Amazing body. Minerals crushed by hand in your mouth.
Finish has this almost savory element. Terrific
We can argue about styles but this is one of the best silvaners on earth.
