2018 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard
Community Tasting Note
blarmston Likes this wine:
94 Points
Thursday, November 2, 2023 - Rating is as of today, with a two hour decant.
Time to dust off my old cheesy analogy (or is it metaphor? I always confuse the two)- drinking this now is like driving a Ferrari stuck in first gear.
Everything here is typical Greer Goodness, but she needs time, like 5+ years time. Should be a high 90's bottling with some slumber time.

Maybe some weekend next year filled with drinking some bomb a$$ wines, tasty food, good peeps, etc.
Between all of our connections in the Valley, we could have quite the PARTAY...
