2019 Failla Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
3/28/2023 - afbrown3 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Ruby in color. Strawberry, raspberry, leather, vanilla. Beautiful ripe fruit but not over cooked. Medium acidity, fine tannins and a medium finish. Very enjoyable and balanced Pinot.

2008 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

This 2008 vintage is very much past its drinking window. Not alot of complexity… very much black fruit forward albeit muted. Tannins are on the low end of the spectrum. A very gentle alcoholic welches grape juice is how I would describe this Cab at this point.

2005 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres

Deep ruby/garnet in appearance. Pronounced aromas of ripe fruit, black currant, dried fruit, caramel, mushroom.
On the palate, dried fruit, leather, licorice, blackberry, black cherry, caramel, and tobacco. The body is still full, medium tannins, medium + acidity, high alcohol, pronounced flavor intensity, and a very long finish. Outstanding.
