  Luis Does Tilia (Tilia, Mpls): Deep purple color. Followed a glass over an hour. Big and ripe, but green nose, all black fruits, pretty intense. The palate is really extrracted, ultra sappy, blackberry liqueur, Port-like, oak, full bodied with nice soft tannins, but showing the heat on the mid and back end. I know a lot people will likely still enjoy this. For me this is a tough style to begin with as it just doesn't have the kind of balance I prefer. To that point, I don't think this weill be served well by further aging - and was probably better a few years ago. Drink up.

  Back at TIlia with Luis' group: The alcohol is fairly pronounced. This wine is more of a berry liqueur to me. It is trying to be flashy, and there's positive new world Napa cab qualities to it, but the balance suffers as a result.

  Started off with ripe fruit, then mellowed out and integrated. Very clean and controlled profile. Medium bodied, the most developed more after the alcohol burned off.

  As usual, the Kenefick Ranch cab is full of blue and purple fruits, lush in texture (even eight years after the vintage), and a delicious Napa cab from start to finish.
  
  I really like the Quivet line for its diversity of flavor profiles across the vineyard designate wines, and for the consistent vineyard character from vintage to vintage.
