2018 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Alexander's Crown Vineyard
5/12/2024 - CleverCorkage Likes this wine:
Showing well after a two hour decant. 100% new french oak for 24 months is apparent but well integrated in the wines high fruit concentration (ripe dark black fruit, cedar spice). Not as opulent as nearby Napa Valley but still showing big fruit concentration and structure (high fine-grained tannins, high fresh acidity, 14,5% ABV). This wine will continue to age for another 4-9 years during this time it will pick up positive tertiary flavors and resolve its high tannins.

2016 Terre Nere Brunello di Montalcino

High sandy tannins & high fresh acidity.
Moderate + fruit intensity of ripe red cherry intermixed with savory spice and earth. Alcohol seems a touch out of balance.
Simple yet nice expression of Sangiovese and entry level Brunello di Montalcino.

2010 Echo de Lynch-Bages
5/7/2024 - CleverCorkage Likes this wine:
Dark opaque color. Moderate + aromatic intensity of dried black fruit, toasted cedar, smoke, leather, and cigar box. High powerful fine-grained tannins and high fresh acidity. The wines alcohol of 13.5 % is balanced by the wines moderate + intensity. Slight garnet color bricking, tertiary dominant flavor profile, moderate + flavor concentration and powerful tannin structure point towards a high quality vintage in the last 10-15 years such as 2010.
