2013 Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

Columbia Valley more

6/4/2022 - apj Likes this wine: NR

Great wine. Not nearly as good as the '05 or '07 reserve but solid nonetheless, not sure this was worthy of a reserve year. But drinking quite well still has some age on it for sure.

Good but need to drink soon. 1st day good seemed very mild for a merlot fruit was light along with acid and tannin definately seemed as if it was at the end of its drinking window. saved a bit to see what it would do. 2nd day seems like it's losing itself drinking window is closing fast its good but not great.

This is a beautiful wine. I don't know how to describe it better than this one of the best Pinots I have ever had.

This wine always surprises me. so good. one of our favorite any time we can we pick up a bottle.
Smells a little like plum jam with hints of vanilla and toast. Taste tart apple a hint of yeast and brioche. a little citrus possibly meyer lemon and caramel as the finish. Who knew pinot meunier by it self could make such a beautiful wine.

2014 John Anthony Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

more

We had this wine with friends on new years eve. This to me was a fruit bomb, albeit a tasty fruit bomb I felt like the acidity and tannic content was not enough to balance the ample fruit of this wine. Black cherry, plum cassis, hints of tobacco and tar. Unfortunately not quite enough structure to balance the fruit for my pallet. Nice wine though and if served again I wouldn't turn it down.

2005 Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley

Hi Public! If you have any of this wine left especially in the 750ml format I would suggest drinking it now. We just had our 1.5 liter bottle and it is delicious, about the perfect time to drink I think. Blackberry dark cherry dark fruit, tiny bit of tar and smoke and coffee. Well balanced, acid and tanin starting to wane and it's lighter than both of us recalled. Definitely time to drink this wine as I believe its hit its peak or has just started on its downward trend.
The wine looks ruby colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), prune, tar, tobacco, light toast and plum. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), prune, plum, coffee, tar and chocolate. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Allison thought it was pretty nice. Ian light enough to go with shrimp pesto but a full red taste.
