5/8/2024 - Franken Berry Likes this wine: 93 pointswhether it's because the stars are aligned or the recent total eclipse, I seem to be on a parallel drinking track with friends Mark1NPT and AGELVIS within the universe that is Napa Valley Cabernet Franc. I never know what red to bring along to a seafood restaurant (I know, pinot noir, but sometimes I want something juicer).

5/10/2024 - seethree Likes this wine: 93 pointsAgree that this needs at least an hour or two of decant. Will also definitely improve with age and is still early in its drinking window. Good QPR.

2021 Fait-Main Cabernet Sauvignon Tierra Roja VineyardOakville more |
5/7/2024 - sean7711 Likes this wine: 96 pointsI think I got the last 3 bottles of this last month from FM. After all the positive notes I had to try. I opened this on Saturday before a black tie event, but ultimately never got around to drink it - so it decanted for 5 hours. I could tell it was a bit boozy, disjointed from a quick pour. Put it under vacuum, reopened on Tuesday. This thing was singing, worth every penny. It just needs a bit of time to come together. Typical Benoit plushness.

10/6/2021 - Bodyfxr wrote: 95 pointsSampled this wine at the Vine Vault in Atlanta back in August. This was the WOTN imo as was the opinion of my entire party. Deep, dark and brooding with medium plus acidity and tannins. Good balance for a wine of such youth. I didn't get any of the green or vegital notes that others on this forum indicated. In fact, I liked it so much that I came back for seconds. Wound up purchasing 3 bottles. This hit me in my yummy bone for sure. Notes of cocoa, cardamom and leather are backing up big jammy black fruits. Very lush. It will be interesting to see where this wine is in 10 years.

5/8/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 95 pointsIt’s a solid offering for the $140 price tag. It has similar density and length as the regular offerings but maybe just pulled back a little. In a blind line up of all Kinsman Eades Candi doubt I could pick it out.

5/8/2024 - Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 96 pointsA little post B-Day, hangin out poolside, smokin some ribs, just the wife and I...I think a Magnum will do! First thing you notice is how balanced and youthful this is right out the gate! Creamy and calm...engaging...yet piercing tartness of lemon and tangerine squeeze livens...gorgeous pitted orchard fruits with some honey and salt sprinkled on top...sour tarts stand at attention...ginger spice and hazelnut mousse fills the mouth...perfect nuanced brioche lees and almond liqueur add to the pleasing senses...reminds me of the beautifully complete and amazing 2002...just a little more laid back and cruising at lower rpm's...a stroll through the countryside, top down, and not a care in the world! Lovely wine!

5/7/2024 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 95 pointsGreat bottle brought by L&G to the table......classic black Howell Mtn fruit on the nose and palate....quite dense with great weight. The tannins are softening, and the wine is very well balanced, but I feel it is still early for this one. I only see it getting better with more time. Easy 95, almost 96 tonight. Maybe 97 down the road?

2000 Clos Erasmus PrioratGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
5/7/2024 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 92 pointsA very interesting bottle. Removed the foil to find a moldy cork top. Used an ah-so and the cork just crumbled to dust. Used part of my Durand to get the last bit of cork out, then a finer to pour into the decanter. It was a very slow pour given the sludge that passed for sediment. Almost an inch worth in the bottle?

2012 Hourglass Cabernet Franc BluelineNapa Valley more |
5/6/2024 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 96 pointsTwo hour decant at home then back into the clean, dry bottle to take to CoopersHawk with family. Slow ox'd at the table for 2 more hours. Blueberry on the nose with florals and red fruit also. Savory compounds on the palate. Nicely complex yet clean and simple in a way at the same time? I guess, good focus is the theme.....it's a beauty. Andrew's fav of the night. Mine, too. |

2019 Familiar Air Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
4/27/2024 - Franken Berry wrote: 92 pointsLast vintage for Benoit. For me, this label has never impressed to the level of the pro review enthusiasm. Mostly Cabernet, with a huge dollop of Malbec (I have read, but JD states merlot). A very dark, inky appearing wine ( Malbec?), with mostly restrained black fruits, bitter chocolates and expresso, hint of olives. There was a bitterness on the palate that never quite faded. Decanted for an hour, drank over next three.
