#AgedWineTuesday

To support the wineries that are the victims of the Glass fires, here is a delicious one from Newton Vineyard.

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Great nose of blueberries, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, coke, tobacco, light alcohol, mocha and black pepper.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, cooked cherries, dried figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, mocha, coke and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking wonderfully, right out of the bottle. Very tasty and enjoyable by itself.

Very complex with a great mouthfeel. Rich and smooth. Awesome nose, that I kept smelling on for a long time.

This would have been even better if we had a couple of hours to open it up properly, but it was gone so quickly.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Delicious now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with beef kebabs.

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah, 7% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$55 (current vintage).

Thick rich currant and cassis berry fruit intense small berries very rich with dark chocolate and fresh plowed black earth a little petite Verdot and Syrah in the blend almost 2 years in 50% new French oak. Sweet tobacco spice with dense texture but still smooth and round on the tongue very rich but lovely balance and freshness with a long complex finish. Finish 45+ excellent+. Filtration only 50 years old so this is a recent invention

Benefitted from 45 min. of air. Nice, slightly old school profile on the palate with a medium-full body. A bit short in the finish.

This thing is a monster. Thick, chewy, tons of different flavors bouncing around, long sweet finish. I could see myself sipping on a glass after dinner, but is it drinkable? No way.

Wonderful Cab. Rich, heavy and dark cherry flavor. Very smooth finish. Excellent with Italian cuisine. Paid under $40 retail.

Smooth. Tannic. I wonder if the unfiltered-ness has anything to do with the taste?
