3/8/2014 - mgstull Likes this wine: 90 pointsA baby. Even after several hours this wasn't giving up much. Almost black and super dense. Black fruit and bacon fat but the various elements just aren't in focus yet. The tannins are pretty fierce. Put this away for at least 5 years. |

3/6/2014 - youngjc1 Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy first Cabot (a BerserkerDay purchase), and wow! I have never had a wine with such intense bacon flavors. Smokey, salty, fatty, meaty. But with some nice dark fruits to balance it out. A full meal in a glass! The bacon flavors faded a bit over time, but the wine remained quite pleasurable. |

7/19/2014 - fingers Likes this wine: 91 pointsPopped and followed for 4 hours open. Very dark purple, almost opaque with quick, clear legs. Moderate sediment. Profound and pure blackberry, caramelized pork, and Backwoods Smoke cigarillo aromas that seemed to lose a lot of intensity after an hour. The palate is wonderfully juicy with acidity and is joined by some serious mineral texture, making this an absolute foodie wine. It has a light-medium body but delivers oodles of fruit goodness into a long finish. It did seem to jumble a bit from hour 1-2 where I thought the oak monster was making an appearance, but by the third hour in decanter the elements mingled perfectly into a really attractive package. 5+11+17+8= 91 4 people found this helpful, do you?

2/18/2014 - kenhoeve Likes this wine: 94 pointsAwesome. Bacon, smoke, and more bacon. Lovely balance and full body with excellent acidity to match at the dinner table. This had everything you could want from a N Rhone and more. Definitely more on the meaty bacony side, but there is great underlying fruit and some herbaceous notes. An absolutely fabulous wine that I feel lucky to drink. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1/29/2015 - Eric Likes this wine: 93 pointsI didn't fully heed my own advice to wait for a few years (I only lasted 16 months), and I am glad for that. While still formidably young, this has started to round beautifully into form. Lovely smoke on the nose moves to a beautiful palate full of red fruit, soy, and mineral. This is truly lovely, world class Syrah. There is lots of acid and lots of structure here, but it balances out quite well. This still needs plenty of time, but it will be one to rival the best Cabot bottlings. |

10/8/2015 - kenhoeve wrote: 93 pointsGave this an hour to breath and that is a disservice on my part it is desperate for more. A bruiser of a wine, this has tremendous structure and nothing to do with ripeness. Lots of dry chalky tannins and minerals pull at the perfectly ripe fruit to lend tension. The strength of the tannin is about an even match for the meaty side. The finish shows the quality of the wine, plenty of florals and perfume which wasn't expected. Basically this is really really good, but a bit of a boxing match at this point if you only want to drink and not eat. Need to hold this for 5 years, unless you are making some braised/roasted food and then you are good to go. |

8/18/2015 - Eric Likes this wine: 92 pointsSigh, I was sad to drink the last one of these. I should have purchased more. Less leafy than the prior bottle, this was clean, fresh, deep and pure Cabernet. Some leaf and stem dances on the front of the palate, but this wine is dominated by black cherry, cassis and a hint of cranberry. Perhaps it is a bit linear, but the utter purity and freshness more than make up for it. Nice job John! |

8/7/2014 - arthrovine wrote: NRThis bottle was pop n poured and that was a mistake. We didn't have time to decant properly. There was some VA and detracting heat on the finish that I suspect would've disappeared had we decanted it appropriately. The fruit and flavor profile were tight as well. Suggest 2+ hours of air. |

2011 Cabot Vineyards Syrah Humboldt Countymore |
8/7/2018 - Beerzebub Likes this wine: NRP&p. Attractive, pungent, smoky-savory (barbecue?), deep-dark-earthy, dark fruit aroma, with healthy dashes of black pepper, oil-cured olive and dried herbs/brush. Similar flavors; fresh and cool as well as savory and deep; on the soft and smooth side for a Cabot, but it does have some tannic structure, and good acidity. Surprisingly, the fruit has a distinct peach/nectarine element (even though there's no Viognier in this as far as I know). Nice stony and saline mineral streaks. Tasty/moreish, characterful wine. Ready to drink, but no rush. |

8/26/2016 - J @ y H @ c k Likes this wine: 91 pointsBerserkerday purchae. Decanted for 90 minutes then followed for 2-1/2 hours. Perhaps my best Cabot ever. Dark brooding fruit with soy, pepper and balsamic notes. I don't normally sense soy or balsamic when others do, but with this wine, it was all there. The pepper was light, but still evident. The fruit was dark - no sweetness either actual or apparent - and had components of dark blackberries, blueberries and plums. Smooth mouth feel without being creamy. Finish falls of from a strong opening, but it lasts as an undertone in your mouth for a long time. A good value at $30. At three hours out, going to bed, it's still got a nice wallop but the nose is now expressing violets to go with everything else. Bravo John - great effort. |

2/25/2015 - markswine wrote: NRCompletely closed. The 2011 marier is way more fun to drink than this bottle at this time, but this is still good juice. It needs time. Like at least a year or two. Bramble and herbs. Darkish purple. Tannins and oak. Good potential, but don't bother for now. After a few hours with air the mid palate came out a bit and the bouquet opened. It has the parts, but it needs sideways time. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

Lots of forest floor on nose. Neither red or dark fruit ... a real nice blend ... light plum or dark cherry? Between the wet earth/fruit , medium mouthfeel and long length, this is a really balanced wine all around. |

4/21/2014 - dave smigielski wrote: 90 pointsWe had the 04 Kimberleys and the 04 Reed's along side each other with lamb chops for easter dinner. The Kimberleys was very masculine with bloody meats whereas the Reeds was chock full o blueberries and a finish for days. Both wines went well and were great examples of how syrah can contrast given the terroir. Posting this same note for the Reed's. |

5/4/2014 - marka wrote: 90 pointsWell...I'm getting more Cabot. This was my first Cabot, one that was purchased through a Berserker Day Deal. This is a $26 bottle that drinks like a $50 bottle. Decanted for an hour (this should be a minimum right now) and the first sip showed some dark berries, smoke, a good amount of spice, and nice balance. After being open for a couple of hours, the mouth drying tannins started to take over and overshadow the good characteristics mentioned. There are eight ounces left for today. RaNae liked it as well. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

3/26/2014 - blakel wrote: 89 pointsSadly, this particular bottle had none of the bacon notes and was a bit muted compared to previous bottles. It was a fresh delivery direct from the winery, and may have been suffering from travel shock? Whatever the reason, it was not nearly as good as I was expecting. Just a simple, balanced Syrah. I look forward to the next one. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

6/12/2014 - PSUSteve Likes this wine: 92 pointsWith 30 minutes of air, palate had a meaty base with bacon and some dark cherry hiding in the background. Mouthful is full and bold. I am thinking of holding my last bottle for a few years. Same on night two after VinVac. |
