    Retailer tasting. Exactly what you expect at a big reds tasting. Mixed red and black fruit, on the ripe side, with big tannins and grip.

  • 2017 Booker Vineyard Vertigo 92 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles Willow Creek District

    Retailer tasting. Starts with a bit of a smoky note, along with black fruit, pepper and brown sugar aromas. Tannic; big. Ripe strawberry, cherry pepper and black fruit. Pretty tasty stuff, and I wouldn't have expected the lighter sweet berry qualities on the palate. 92-93 pts.

  • 2016 Stonestreet Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyards 92 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley

    Retailer tasting. On touch green, though I find it enjoyable here, with cassis and black fruit underneath. More red-fruited than black in terms of the palate; medium tannins and just a hint of the green qualities in the finish. Balanced. I like this quite a bit.
