2021 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonRutherford more |
4/5/2024 - RockinCabs wrote: 96 pointsNose: Cassis, plum, black cherry and espresso notes. Bit of thyme, licorice and cocoa notes that are typical of this site. Quite perfumed. Palate: Layered and already seamless dark cherry, blackberry and cassis fruit, with underlying tannin that is fine and pliant. Acidity is strong, building freshness and some thyme / sage notes into the mid-palate. Nice floral perfume in the back palate Finish: Outstanding length and dusty tannin, cassis notes, espresso and cocoa nibs. |

2021 Wine Access Cabernet Sauvignon YesterdayNapa Valley more |
10/23/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 pointsNose: Big perfume of black cherry, cassis, embers and vanilla. Leather, bit of a sage and spice note. Palate: Roundly textured palate that has signature power without weight of some of the Napa cults. Dark cherry, blackberry, tar, vanilla, spherical sweetness and new leather. Finish: Lengthy and perfumed. A style that will be enjoyed by many here. |

8/23/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 pointsThis is a really enjoyable cabernet. Nose of blueberry, blackberry, leather, graphite and vanilla bean. The palate is seamless and well balanced. Lots of dark fruit, blueberry, leather, and tobacco. Refined finish that is nicely lifted. Never heavy, yet delivers on richness. |

2021 Halpin Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
1/9/2024 - RockinCabs wrote: NRNose of lavendar, plum, cassis and eucalyptus. Palate kicks up a lot of berries, oak, espresso, and dusty tannin. Good solid Napa cab, not over alcohol driven either. Painfully young and somewhat harsh on the back end with a lot of shrill acidity and grippy tannin. |

2021 Frédéric Cossard Bourgogne BedeauPinot Noir more |
12/28/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: flawedNot really sure what to think here. The nose is sappy beautiful pinot fruit. Cherries, forrest floor, violets, stemmy notes and nice logan berry. However the wine was very cloudy, fizzy and showing signs of secondary fermentation. Is that the norm here? Not the experience I anticipated with this Cossard. |

2021 Emerson Wines Chardonnay atLarge Forty-Fifth ParallelOregon more |
8/30/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 91 pointsThis really delivers elegant and layered notes of peach, lemon, granny smith apple and some matchsticky reduction. Spherical in the mouth the texture is like that of many white burgs that I love, with just a bit of extra marshmallowy richness. Lovely chardonnay from Oregon. |

2021 Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon BlancNapa Valley more |

2021 Starborough Sauvignon BlancMarlborough more |
8/23/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 80 pointsVery bitter notes of tart lime and lemon head candies with a iced tea like residual sugar. Leaves an unpleasant finish that tastes confected and very tart all at once. |

2021 Cantina Terlan Sauvignon Terlano Winklmore |
8/3/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 91 pointsOutstanding sauv Blanc with grassy and herbal top notes. Palate is zippy with lemon, melon and tea notes. Great grass and mint as well. Fantastic acidity. Great SB! |

2021 Domaine Tempier Bandol RoséMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
8/25/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 pointsBeautiful. Delivers nice strawberry, herb and red currant notes with a great mouthfeel that is slightly viscous. Nice acidity keeps it very lively, and the summery fresh flavors are delicious. The standard bearer for Bandol rose once again. |

2021 Massican Sauvignon BlancNapa Valley more |
4/1/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 pointsSimply beautiful lemon, melon, sweet grass, lime and floral notes. Just a bit of body and polish, but very much a classic Napa SB from the massican team. |

2020 Gilbert Picq & ses Fils ChablisChardonnay more |
8/24/2022 - RockinCabs wrote: 91 pointsJust a gorgeous afternoon summer sipper. This has a nice lemon, seashell, apple and slight spice profile that is light bodied and crisp. Just a bit of roundness, but this is all about the mineral refreshment you get from good Chablis |

2020 Massican Ribolla Gialla Vino BiancoNapa Valley more |
3/20/2022 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 pointsAnother excellent Massican wine. Great ripeness that provides fleshy apple, peach and a hint of toasted coconut. Palate feel is shap and saline with focused lemon and apple. So crushable. The bottles disappear. |

2020 E. Guigal Crozes-HermitageSyrah more |
10/13/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 90 pointsGive this little Crozes-Hermitage a lot of credit for its authentic personality and depth of fruit. Dark red cherry, black berries, iron, game and red soil notes. Nice polished black raspberry notes on the midpalate, and a bit of oak. Never over done and acidity is nicely pitched. |

2020 Tinpot Hut Sauvignon BlancMarlborough more |
10/1/2021 - RockinCabs wrote: 89 pointsVery typical new Zealand sauvignon blanc made without the residual sugar that a lot of these wines are sewing today. Beautiful lime, jasmine, lychee, seashell and grassy notes. Very good and a new favorite at this level. |

2020 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon EstateSt. Helena more |
11/15/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 93 pointsThis really split the table. On the plus side there is a nice wine here in a very difficult vintage. However, you have to wait on it. Despite a 6-hour decant the tannins were very hard, and held back the vibrant cassis, blackberry and cherry fruit notes. Not as precise as other recent vintages. |

2020 Wine Access Cabernet Sauvignon The Big TicketNapa Valley more |
5/5/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 91 pointsPlum, blackberry, graphite and sweet vanilla oak notes. This shows the pedigree of the vineyard source for sure. This is my second or third bottle consumed since they have arrived, and each one is ready to go on PNP, or with just a short time getting air. |
