2012 Ehlers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon "1886"

4/17/2024 - JCGuthrie wrote: 93 points

Initially the nose shows dark red and black fruits with lots of anise and some bramble and pipe tobacco. With air red fruits dominate: red currants, dried cranberries, plum, more bramble. Palate shows darker red fruits with just a slight herbal quality that makes me wonder if there is some cab franc in the mix. Very light for a cab and soft on the palate. This has evolved nicely since my last bottles and there is plenty of life left. Delicious!

I typically love wines from Ehlers but this wine was way to tight for me at this time. I suspect a few more years will soften the tannins and open this gem for future drinking. The drinking window on this wine, in my opinion, is way off the mark. This wine will improve over the next several years and, for now, requires significant breathing time to really enjoy.

So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: I have not heard of this winery, but I liked the bottle so I decided tonight was a good night to try it. Was a sample bottle from the cellar I purchased. Sample sticker said just over 1900 cases produced, released in 2008, and release price of $95. 100% cab sauv. Used an ah so, but the cork (short cork) came out easily. Was in great condition, with almost no soaking. Poured a deep red in the glass with a nose of blue and black fruits though a bit of a dried fruit profile on the nose. Immediately tasted, and it was in pretty good shape. Fresh to cooked red fruit on the palate, with an ever so slight prune taste at the end. Still there, but well integrated tannins, good acidity. Was a bit thin though, to me. I think if I had tasted blind I would have called this a 10 year old CA cab, so it has held up quite well. Fun experience - and great looking bottle.

Popped and poured. Medium crimson color. Nose of ripe dark cherry and juicy plum, a bit of cedar cigar box, chocolate covered cherry. Similar flavors on the palate with a nice mix of ripe red berry fruit, toasty oak, herbal cough drop and a bit of earthy forest floor. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel and finish. Drinking really great at the moment.

Strong tannins, leathery tobacco bouquet. It grabs you! Dark fruit as it hits the front of palate & ends with a warm finish in the back. Long legs

Great nose of mixed berries with hints of mineral, earth and dried herbs. Mixture of red and black fruit on the palate. Very silky mouthfeel. Fresh and young, but at the same time fully accessible now.

Consumed over two days. Very primary on day one with more overt new oak and sweet, dark cherry and plum fruit. Day two brought more balance and a bit of earthy, woodsy flavor to the mix. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth finish.

Wedding anniversary red. Two hour decant. Slight whiff of age but overwhelming profile of cassis and blackberry both on the nose and the palate. Silky smooth wine a a bold one too - rich and fruit laden. The hint of ag remains throughout. Very Californian. It's not a subtle wine but it is a very delicious one. Been to the estate as well - lovely place. None left and not sure I can hold of any more in the UK..

Well I conavined The 2013 because it was my last one. And I’m rating it slightly higher than I did seven years ago. It’s really a nicely balanced wine with a surprising level of fruit. It is dark, but not overly full. Not sure why I kept hesitating to open this last bottle, it’s really quite good

Decanted for around one hour. Deep crimson color. Gorgeous nose of ripe blackberry, cassis, a bit of blueberry compote, purple florals and a touch of sweet vanilla and toasty oak in the background. Similar flavors on the palate with incredible balance of fruit, oak, tannin and acidity. Silky smooth mouthfeel with a long finish. Best bottle of this vintage yet and I have one more left.

Excellent Napa Cab. Deep purple color just starting to move to reddish brown. Opened and let sit for 2 hours. Nose was powerful Jumped out of the bottle as it was uncorked Black fruits like black cherry and dark plums. Cooked fruit on the nose. Flavor was not overwhelming fruit but very balanced with fruit and earthy and mushroom flavors. Slight vanilla and cedar on the finish Tannins were soft and acidity balanced. This wine is as good as it’s going to be now but will keep evolving for the next 5 years. I love Ehler’s!
