2008 Passalacqua Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Block 18 & 19 TR Passalacqua Vineyard

14.7% abv. 147 cases.
I picked this up for next to nothing at auction with nobody else even bidding on it, and I had low expectations, but this delivered a wonderful aged Cabernet experience. Fully resolved and integrated with soft and silky mouthfeel. I think this showed its terroir nicely, with Napa-esque "but not quite" flavor profile. Perhaps just on the edge of its downswing from peak, as the core of fruit flavor seemed to be fading just a touch. Otherwise, a detailed and complex Cabernet that was both pleasurable and intellectually compelling. Home run pairing with Hungarian Ghoulash over spaetzle. Not bad for $11 all in.

Drank his 18 year old Cab with dinner at House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. It was perfect with the prime rib. Upon first opening, it was still a little tight, but the nose was already gave us a rich chocolate scent. As the Cab opened up, the layers started coming - dark fruit supported by a firm structure. Not light or fruity as another review stated. This was a classic Cab. These Block 18/19 vines have a unique profile (actually hard to describe, but classic and delicious). Ready to drink now, but could last another couple years.

Still needed time to open, but once it did, it was a lovely Italian-styled red - could easily slide into a tasting of Super Tuscans. Nice balance between the sangiovese and cab. A deliciously dry, nicely balanced bottle. Has the legs to go for another decade, I'd bet.

Nice Super-Tuscan blend with bright red fruit. Enjoyed drinking it now, but also has more room to develop.

This is the second bottle I’ve opened that has a flawed cork. Maybe a bad batch? Disappointing.

Relatively simple, light, tart with a hint of sour cherry. Not bad but Inwoukd take Tavel, Saintasburry or the Bella Rose any day over this.
