2018 Clif Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Croquet Vineyard

interesting, jury will still be out for a while on this one, maybe it is still closed down. Decanted for an hour, nose was very pleasant - flowers, menthol, red berries. Palate was cherry, leather and earth, but fruit was closed. Had a big body with solid tannins and a great mouthfeel and long finish which leads me to think there is more here that some additional decanting or cellaring may bring out. Have one more bottle and will hold for a while before trying again.

Bright and juicy! This rose of Grenache opens with the aroma of sweet honeydew melon, closely followed with notes of strawberry and watermelon, and a lingering peach finish! A great wine for summer BBQs (or a classy porch pounder). I paired it with salmon pinwheels stuffed with feta and spinach and it was the perfect accompaniment!

A good Zin but a thin Zin. Maybe a little more airtime? Paired with pasta and eggplant parmigiana. Red fruits dominate and it has very little ending

2018 Clif Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Springs Vineyard

Howell Mountain more

2/17/2024 - AGELVIS Does not like this wine: 87 points

One hour decant. Deep dark intense purplish magenta color. Blackberry, black cherry, pulled pork bark, thyme, and subtle vanilla wafer. Smooth, dry, slightly spicy palate. Firm tannins on the medium long+ finish.

This is very Bordeaux-leaning and more savory than I like my CS. Clif is not my style overall. I’ve had several bottles from various vintages.

If you want a Zin that is closer to a cab, this is it! And yet it is still a Zin and an awesome one at that. Recommend letting it open for an hour or more because it gets much better.

Garnet. Medium legs. Some sediment. More medium than full body. Red cherry, mineral, spice, metal, oak. Dry. More soft. Tannins. Aerated and decanted before serving.

Good, solid wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with food. Nice combination of black cherry and black raspberry with hints of coffee and tobacco throughout the palate. My go-to choice when I'm in the mood for a Rhone-style wine.

Three hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Sour cherry and nutmeg dominate. Tongue drying palate. Firm tannins on the medium long+ finish.

This is improved from last year, but it’s still not great. It’s better than my notes make it sound, but nothing I would stock up on.

Deep ruby with heavy tearing and moderate extraction. Ripe and jammy red and black fruits. Cherry, blackberry. Pepper, spice, cedar. Dust, clay, soil. Potpurri. Some green pepper. On the palate, rich, earthy, and fruity. Nicely balanced between ripe fruit and strong structure. Oak is present and fits in nicely. Overall, pretty good. Could us a little more acidity to balance the richness but I'm being picky.

Nice zin with initial notes of pepper and spice. ABV is 15.1 and finish is a bit hot but taste is dry and not overripe. Price is reasonable for Napa but overpriced for a bit high for a zin in general.
