2021 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon
4/6/2024 - WinePlanner Likes this wine: 95 Points
Incredibly well balanced. Blackberry and some blueberry. Fine tuned with some acid and some oak giving a nice structure to the fruit. Nice nose, great finish.
Nice now, will only get better with time.

2017 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Viña Real Crianza
1/15/2024 - WinePlanner Likes this wine: 91 Points
This wine needed days to open, it is so closed now. The 1st two days it was very unbalanced and acidic ( though quite fruit forward).
I put the cork back in for the first day and refrigerated for two more. While most American red wines would be thrown away at this point, this one finally opened up.
While still tanic, it was smooth, balanced, dark fruit, tar, slight brambles, some leather.
That is the wine I thought I was buying. For God’s sake, keep it for another 3 to 8 years and treasure it.
Pleasant nose, decent and pleasant finish.

NV Ferrari Brut Perlé Rosé Riserva

Had this at a nice Italian restaurant. I was shocked at how similar it was to a good Champagne PN.
Yeast, current, strawberry. Some acid, brioche, red berry, ginger.
I can serve this, tell everyone its a rosé or Prosecco and everyone is happy.
