Clone 4 Beckstoffer To-Kalon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I think it was good but becoming a believer in glasses making a difference. The glass here at a restaurant just didn’t allow it to shine imho. I think this could rate higher. — 5 months ago

Yep. Good stems are a necessity.

Kinda interesting that sushi restaurants are now using better wine glasses than other foody restaurants. I get they need less and probably break less but it shows they care about every part of the experience. I hate to be “that guy” bitching about a glass but this should have been at least 2 basis points higher. Need to see what I rated it before but it had the makings of a 9.6-9.7 but just didn’t show it.

What do I know… last time I gave it a 9.2 and said it needed more air ;) I think I have one left. It will be with plenty of air and a nice glass. TBD on the results.

Torchiana Beresini Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay 2019

9.4

Roasted pineapple on the nose and mid palate. Pears are also evident in the mix.
Butterscotch notes combine with bold citrus notes. Relaxed acid makes this a huge knee-trembler. Wifey loves it, as do I!

Melanson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

A commanding expression of Pritchard Hill fruit, this 2019 Melanson Cab is Napa power in its most refined form. The nose is intensely perfumed, black cherry, cassis, mahogany, dried herbs, and a touch of licorice and forest floor.

The palate follows through with depth and authority: concentrated dark fruit, cocoa powder, tobacco, and mulberry wrapped in firm but polished tannins. Dense, dry, and structured, with a long, resonant finish.

This is a wine that demands patience, decant at least two hours. Built to go the distance. 🔥🍷

Hyde Vineyard Cuvée Susan Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019

Ron R
9.4

This is a typically rich and voluptuous example from Tor. It’s flashy on the mid palate displaying roasted pineapples and a hint of lychee. This is a multidimensional example with delicate wood treatment and soft acidity. The finish extends and expands with a sexy sweet conclusion. Take a look if you can find it. — 2 months ago

375ml. Needed lots of air as the alcohol eventually blew off and the peaches, pears and Meyer lemons appeared. Nice depth and finish. — 4 months ago
