Introduction

Got together with Ann's family to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Anina made a great dinner with Brassiola (spelling?). It was my first time having it and I really enjoyed it. It went well with the wines too.

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2000 Richard Partridge Cabernet Sauvignon 88 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Very nice nose with hints of bell pepper. In the mouth slightly tart red fruits with the hints of bell pepper again. The tannins are resolved and the wine is drinking very nicely now. The nicely balanced acidity makes me think that is almost old world in style. Very enjoyable. Did not formally score but would guess about an 88-89.

  • 2000 Peter Murphy Cabernet Sauvignon 87 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Pleasant nose with a little more dark fruit than the Richard Partridge Cab. Hints of bell pepper in the mouth and nose. Tart red fruits and fairly dry. Better with food than for quaffing. A little old world in style. No formal score but would guess an 87.

  • 1998 Pine Ridge Vineyards Merlot Carneros 88 Points

    USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros

    Nice mint and Eucyliptus (spelling?) on the nose. Dark fruits, soft, and tasty! We should drink more merlot. No score but would guess 88.
