2015 Sheridan Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonYakima Valley more |
Full Pull, Paul ZitarelliFull Pull Thread The Needle (8/16/2017) Hello friends. We’re trying to thread the Sheridan Vineyard needle with today’s offer timing-wise. This one was originally scheduled for after Labor Day, but one of the wines on offer is depleting so rapidly in the market-at-large that it will be sold out by then (a 94pt Advocate review for a wine in the $20s will do that). The original reason for waiting until September was that we wanted to offer two of Sheridan’s crown jewels, and the release date for both is not until Sept 1. The way we decided to get around that issue is that we’re essentially offering those two (Singularity and Block 1) as a pre-sale: order today, and then the wine will be delivered in early September. Four wines total on offer today, really representing the breadth of Scott Greer’s vigneron excellence with Sheridan. From prices in the twenties to north of a hundy, these wines always represent fine value for the tag. Let’s dive in: Arguments can be made for Cab Franc and Syrah, but ultimately I view Scott Greer’s deepest farming and winemaking expertise through the prism of Cabernet Sauvignon. He produces three of them under the Sheridan label (the other two are L’Orage, which we offered in May, and Block 1, which we’ll offer below), and this is the gateway Cab. It’s an excellent introduction to the house style, and well worth a splurge for those of us who normally cap our per-bottle spending at $20. The wine spends about a year and a half in once-used French oak, clocks in at 14.1% listed alc, and offers all the Sheridan Cabernet chew and oomph we’ve come to expect over the years. The profile is dark as can be, with blackcurrants and dark soil and the darkest of dark chocolate. Classy as hell for a Cab in the $20s. Wine Advocate: Copyrighted material withheld. |

From prices in the twenties to north of a hundy, these wines always represent fine value for the tag. Let’s dive in: Speaking of rare parcels, Block 1 just keeps getting more and more difficult to access at retail, and Jeb’s review (his strongest ever for any vintage of Block 1) isn’t going to help. Quick note to put this 99pt-review in context. We've offered exactly one 99pt Advocate wine in Full Pull's existence. The year was 2011, the wine was the 2008 K Vintners Royal City Syrah, and our allocation was a whopping 12 bottles. All that to say: this is the kind of opportunity that only happens once or twice per decade. Wine Advocate: Copyrighted material withheld. |

From prices in the twenties to north of a hundy, these wines always represent fine value for the tag. Let’s dive in: This is the wine I mentioned above; the one that is going to be sold out within the next few weeks. It’s a 50/40/10 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc, all from Sheridan’s estate vineyards. It clocks in at 14.1% listed alc and offers incredible depth and intensity for the tariff. Deep red and black berry and cherry fruits are shot through with threads of smoke and mint. Balanced, delicious, completely seductive. And not long for this world.
