2018 Ridge Lytton Springs

2 hour decant (mag decanter). Well this was disappointing given how great the last bottle was on 9/22. While not corked nor any evidence of brett this was devoid of fruit for the most part and overly acid driven. No score given.

2016 Robert Keenan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary Reserve Spring Mountain District

1 1/2 hour slow ox. Nose: Bright sweet red fruits and wet cement traces with that typical perfumy Spring Mountain aroma that is SO intoxicating! Unreal aromas. Palate: Red fruited with some blueberry and soft yet very present tannins and solid acid levels. Finish is lengthy yet fresh due to the acids. A wine of superb class and truly exemplary of what is possible in Spring Mountain. So glad to have one more in the cellar. Fantastic!

2020 Domaine Comte Abbatucci Faustine Rosé Vieilles Vignes

Very similar to last notes on 6/8/22 but as I predicted the acids have finally folded in on this Corsican beauty. Still very minerally with decent acids but not the searing ones from years past. Went great with sushi but if I buy more of this in a newer vintage it will get a couple years sideways before consumption. Wonderful Rose and now 91 points (up from 89+).
