Fortune 1621 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley WSI93 Great dense mouthfeel, inky color. Intense cherry dominant flavors, ripe, fresh clean fruit – firm tannins and great overall structure – Amazing value every vintage!
Marietta Cellars ‘Christo’ North Coast Red Blend WA96 A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah and Viognier, the 2019 Christo has a deep ruby-purple color and alluring scents of blueberry jam and cassis with accents of loamy earth, violet, coffee beans and iron. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet silky, with seamless acidity and gobs of pure violet perfume on the long, layered finish. It’s easy to drink now but offers a decade or more of cellaring potential.
Musella Valpolicella Superiore DOC Red Blend JS91 Aromas of strawberries, cassis, old leather and peppercorn. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Round and juicy with a slightly sweet-and-sour red currant-like finish. Delicious and laid-back, with some nice funk at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Walter Hansel ‘North Slope’ RRV Pinot Noir 100% clone 115 from the block furthest north with a south to north facing slope..
Wolf’s Head ‘Haymaker’ Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon Deep garnet in color, with sweet aromas of red cherry, blackberries, violets, anise and dried herbs. Medium bodied with flavors of blackberry pie, baker’s chocolate, cedar cigar box and licorice with a long, dry finish.
Omen ‘Origins’ Sierra Foothills Zinfandel WSI93 Burnt caramel, dark plum, slight notes of flint and earth – medium body and delicate fruit to match light fare. 93% Zinfandel from Sierra Moon Vineyard, Fair Play AVA, Sierra Foothills, California and 7% Petite Sirah from Element 79 Vineyards, Fair Play AVA, Sierra Foothills, California. Aged 9 months in French oak barrels.
