2014 Michel Rolland Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
4/20/2024 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 95 pointsPNP through an aerator. Huge, big and bold. One of the most intense cabs we have had in a while. Spouse loved it, seemed a bit too much for me. Still lots of fruit, corners are rounding off. Will try again in a few years. |

2017 Liparita Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak - Napa Valley Atlas Peakmore |
4/14/2023 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 90 pointsBlueberry and overripe raspberries on the nose. Really nice bouquet. Mostly primary notes on the palate. The oak is mellowing from years prior as well. Red and black fruits on the palate, bit of graphite. Still very young - fruit forward. Tannins and acid are plentiful. Will try again in two years. |
