2018 Monticello Vineyards (Corley Family) Cabernet Sauvignon Corley Reserve
5/2/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 91 Points
Deep dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward, & fragrant aromas of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & some cassis with overtones of dusty/earthy & floral notes, spices, mint, herbs, cocoa, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, minerals & a hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.

2021 Pine Ridge Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Deep, dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of dusty/earthy & floral notes, cocoa, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums, mocha, minerals, herbs, spices & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing and should develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (91+). IMHO, I do not see how it is possible that this well-crafted wine could rate a mere "82" unless it was an off bottle. I wish people who "trash" a wine would at least give their reasons for such a low score so we can see their basis for it.

Light golden in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of citrus notes lemons/limes, grapefruit & pears with mineral/flinty overtones, some floral notes, spices, stony & chalky. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe citrus flavors of lemons/limes, grapefruit & green apples, chalky, spices, stony & minerals. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present but should develop further with additional aging at which time, it may merit a higher score (93+). Very good QPR especially in light of the prices for many domestic Chardonnays of this quality.
