4/27/2024 - 1997cobalt Likes this wine: 94 pointsSurprisingly not to young. Fruit bountiful but laced with enough tannic bite to round it out. Decanted for 30-50 minutes and it needed it. Would nonetheless wait 4-5 years before opening next one. |

2019 Rivers-Marie Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
1/5/2024 - 1997cobalt Likes this wine: 94 pointsTight at first but popped open within 20-30 minutes. Smooth and Lucious with an inviting tannic intro and finish. Fruit was mature but not leggy and wild, and the finish was a lip smacker . Maybe a 95 vs a 94. |
