2015 Sleeper Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
1/21/2024 - pgrzesik Likes this wine: 92 Points
This was a good wine - much better on day 2.
Pop and poured this on day 1 - felt like I was going to be disappointed. It felt hot on the nose, too much oak and alcohol on the nose. It was predominating. The mouthfeel was full bodied but a bit out of balance.
Put the cork back in and let it sit for 24 hours at room temperature. Lot better on the second day. The nose softened, lots of blackberries, dark chocolate, and a hint of pencil shavings. It is full bodied, much more balanced on the second day. Lots of fruit, tannins are in a good place. The finish was good, long, and smooth. The alcohol was present but very well integrated.Overall was really much more pleasant the second day. Really good wine.

2014 Lail Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Georgia

Good bottle - typical excellent Lail sav blanc. We had it a little too cold at first, the nose was muted and fruit was being muted. But once it came up to room temperature a bit more you clearly saw this was a special wine. Lots of bright fruit - grapefruit, kiwi, and some Granny Smith apples. The mouth feel is luxurious, smooth, and clearly well integrated. Drinking really well now.

2012 Col Solare

This was a fantastic wine. We drank this with home made hamburgers on the grill and it was fantastic. The wine pours a very dark almost purple color. No real signs of age on the rim. The nose is very pleasant with lots of dark fruit, still felt very primary on the nose. It did have a bit of alcohol bite on the nose that took away a bit from the experience. The palate was medium to full bodied, lots of dark fruit on the palate, long good finish. The only downside on was the bite on the palate from the alcohol. Overall a really enjoyable wine - probably in its prime drinking window.
