4/26/2024 - beeg612 Likes this wine: 89 pointsOpaque black purple bowl turning slightly transparent on the rim. Plums, black berries, crushed dark berries, hints of spice on the nose. Palate is crushed cherries, blackberry jam, chocolate shavings, hints of tobacco and spice. Medium plus tannins and acidity. Still tight but decent with a decant. |

4/25/2024 - jcampano Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for 3 hours, but it needed at least twice that. Young and loaded with black fruit aromas and flavors. Notes of violets, graphite and licorice. Grippy tannins, and needs time in the cellar to evolve. |

4/23/2024 - devraj Likes this wine: 94 pointsMedium brickish ruby in color. Nose takes about 30 mins to blossom and shows off great aromas of red forest berries, dried florals, dark soy, forest floor and hint of spice. Superbly balanced and silky in the mouth showing more sweet and less sour red berries, savory mix of mushrooms and brown sauce, ripe acids and a long earthy and floral finish that is very dense and fans out on the palate. Best showing for this wine. |

4/26/2024 - Mootsie Likes this wine: NRAlready a touch more tannic than the bottle two months ago. Maybe starting to close down a bit. The early bottles were just wild with flavor. |

4/26/2024 - Cablover1982 Likes this wine: 97 pointsMy first Abreu and this fits perfectly for my palate. Magenta/purple. 5 hour decant. Huge, Muscular, opulent, with dark fruit core, spices, sweet earth, minerals, flint, pencil lead and pebbles. This has it all that I want in a wine. And this is not even their top wine? Whoa! Great balance, long finish! |

4/26/2024 - CDT Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted after a one hour decant. Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of leather & chocolate. On the palate, full bodied juicy & tart black fruit, blackberry/cassis/boysenberry, sweet tobacco, well integrated oak as cedar, floral, chocolate, medium to high acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to sour cherry, chocolate & minerality. Seven years old, but juicy & fresh, with excellent complexity. Really well done! |

4/26/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: 88 pointsA recent auction purchase, so opened with a “caveat emptor” mindset. Still kickin’ with fully mature red fruits, braised meat, and plenty of earth. The best 2000 Grand Cru cuvées might be magical these days, but this fine wine was certainly better 5-10 years ago. |

4/26/2024 - bkomisar Likes this wine: 95 pointsMelon and green apple on the notes, also with notes of lemon peel present. More melon, lemon zest, and apple on the palate with a very slight buttery finish. Perfect amount of fizz to keep things interesting but not steal the show from the delicious easy drinking Pet-Nat! |

2019 Grgich Hills Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
4/26/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep dark reddish-purple almost opaque in color. Full, forward, & fragrant aromas of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of dusty/earthy & floral notes, herbs, olives, anise, pepper, cocoa, minerals, leather & hints of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, minerals & a note of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing (90 min+) but should develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (93+). Very good QPR. A classically styled & reasonably priced Napa Cabernet in stark contrast to the modern manufactured, overpriced & overripe vanilla/oak frankenwines. |
