a beauty after a much needed 6 hr slow ox decant...great density and freshness to this Napa cab...I'm very impressed, great debut vintage

2014 Detert Family Vineyards Cabernet Franc Oakville
2/23/2018 - olm2000 Likes this wine:
Very nice young Napa cab franc. Big notes of typical blueberry but buffered by nice acidity. Deft touch. Good minerality peeking thru. Terroir showing up. Lovely wine. Not sure this is for long aging though.

2014 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon Greer Vineyard
1/17/2018 - olm2000 Likes this wine: 98 Points
My first experience with a Greer cab and I was deeply impressed. Popped and poured, nose was a bit shy early but this wine was singing from the start on the palate. Great density of cabernet fruit and perfectly balanced acidity giving an exciting tension to the feel of the wine. Then the nose came to the front with the signature Rutherford dust you only seem to get from this place.
Given how open it was, maybe this won't be a long ager. It sure is a mind blowing young wine right now! 98 pts today.
