2014 Round Pond Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Block 11 (the Vow)
1/3/2023 - Winegeek83 Likes this wine: 94 Points
We found this to be quite youthful still, with vibrant fruit, yet with a beautiful vein of complexity. Dark fruit, baking spice, and very fresh tobacco, with background notes of menthol and purple flowers, and some typical Rutherford cocoa. I think this has a fairly long life ahead of it based on its current evolution in bottle. Far better than their regular bottlings. Overpriced perhaps but that’s everything in Napa these days. Tasted delicious to us!

2015 Robert Keenan Winery Merlot Napa Valley
11/2/2022 - Winegeek83 Likes this wine: 95 Points
Still one of the greatest Merlots produced in California! This is a dark and serious wine, full of intrigue and complex aromas. Blackberry, black cherry, espresso, savory spice accents of rosemary and eucalyptus, and a finale of cocoa and cherry cola. This is in great balance and the tannins, while still present are the supporting act and not the star of the show anymore. Keenan’s merlots are built to age and blend the boundaries of old world and new world wines quite well. By the way, this isn’t even their “reserve” Merlot! Bravo
