2018 World's End Cabernet Sauvignon Good Times, Bad Times Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |

2019 Morgado Cellars Chardonnay Spanish SpringsSan Luis Obispo County more |
4/19/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally nice Chardonnay. Tropical notes for sure. Not on the buttery spectrum. But enough oak to make it pleasant on it's own. Really good with food as it has nice acidity. |

2019 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Elysian Beckstoffer Dr. Crane VineyardSt. Helena more |
4/14/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 97 pointsSpectacular wine. The multiple 100 ratings from the wine pros on this wine are justified. Solid on all levels. If you like big Napa new world fruit bombs that are not only big but also nuanced and balanced, this is you wine. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2019 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The O.G. Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
4/14/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 94 points2 hour decant. Consumed over 4 hours. The fruit on this was more refrained than I was expecting. Definitely not as big or fruit upfront as compared to other years of Carter OG I have had. But it still has that signature To Kalon nose and mouthfeel that I love. Medium long finish. Will try to wait a few years before revisiting. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2020 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane VineyardSt. Helena more |
4/6/2024 - TastesGoodToMe wrote: NRNot rating as this was a weird one. Very nice deep dark juicy berry flavor - perhaps a bit too sweet if I were to say anything negagtive about the front end. This wine also had nice heft/viscosity/mouthfeel. But unfortunately, this wine was REALLY lacking on the finish - especially for a wine from this vineyard and at this price point. I mean there was like NO finish. Made me feel like I was drinking fruit juice. Front End / Mid palate I would rate a 94. Finish - 87 |

2020 Merry Edwards Sauvignon BlancRussian River Valley more |
3/26/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 93 pointsI saw that the '22's of this wine just got a 95 rating from WS so decided to pop a bottle. I am not ususally a Sauv Blanc guy - but I love this wine. Wonderful tropical fruits, banana and vanilla. None of the grassy flavors that New Zealand versions tend to have (that is not my preference). Excellent. This is a Chardonnay lovers kind of Sauv Blanc |

2019 Pursuit Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
3/7/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 92 pointsBest descriptor for this I can think if is: Bright. This is a not a big boy cab that you eat with a steak on a weekend. Bright fruit (cranberry with a little plum) with medium weight/mouthfeel, yet still nuanced. Goes great with cheese. Cannot find many Napa quality wines at this price point. A pleasure to drink. |

2021 Quivet Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
3/6/2024 - TastesGoodToMe wrote: NRNot sure what to think on this one. This is one of the first 2021's I have from Mike where I felt that it was way too early to drink (compared to Myriad and even the Q Kenefick) . This wine tighter than a gnat's arse right now. Not rating as a result as even after 4 hours it was still not showing great. I think the potential is there. But I will wait at least 6 mos before revisiting any of my other bottles.

2021 Caterwaul Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
3/5/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy first of the 2021 vintage. I was a huge fan of the 2019 vintage. This is a good wine but needs a little more time laying down. There is a lot of oak/vanilla that needs to settle down and which should integrate better over time with the big and juicy (mostly black) fruit. 91 points now plus 1 point for QBR with upside potential. I have a case of this and will enjoy seeing how it evolves over time. Hard to find many Napa Cabs of this quality at this price point. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2021 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
2/21/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis wine is fantastic. This was a PnP. Really hit it's stride at the 2-hour mark. Its going to be difficult to keep my hands off my remaining stash. That being said, i think this will continue to get better with a little more time laying down as noted by BadMonkey below. |

2021 Kinsella Estates Cabernet Sauvignon K2Dry Creek Valley more |
2/18/2024 - TastesGoodToMe wrote: NRI am going to hold off rating. But I would give it an 87 rating at this point if I did. I am a huge fan of both Kinsella and TRB. But this wine tasted very artificial and fabricated. Did they add a lot of Mega Purple? Because even the color of this wine was a little unnatural. I am hopeful that these either just need a lot more time to come together or that this was an off bottle (as I have about 10 more bottles of this to drink). Hopeful they will improve. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2020 Kinsman Eades Syrah Aberro White Hawk VineyardSanta Barbara County more |
2/16/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis wine was amaze-balls! Such purity of fruit. Such depth, nuance and layers of flavors. Mostly blue fruit with a hint of saline and minerals in the background. Excellent viscosity/mouthfeel with a long smooth finish. Just outstanding all the way around. Santa Barbara fruit is coming into it's own |

2018 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
2/10/2024 - TastesGoodToMe Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe '18s in general have been the most stubborn vintage I can remember - especially based on all the hype - and these Myriad NV are no exception. They are finally settling down and coming together. Mike Smith used to always say "drink the NV in first 5 years while you are waiting for the single vineyard bottlings to age a little". Well these are just getting into their drinking window at the 6 year mark. Better late than never. |
