2018 Terra Valentine Cabernet Sauvignon ForetellSpring Mountain District more |
12/16/2023 - JHalvorson Likes this wine: 98 pointsI currently have over 400 bottles listed in Cellar Tracker and have consumed well over 1000 bottles that I have had listed. This is the best bottle of wine I have ever had. We drank it over 2 days and the end of the bottle today was the best. Dark, Dense, Complex with perfect mouth feel. One of the great wine experiences of my life. |
