Community Tasting Note

• RichEB1 Likes this wine: 96 points

  December 13, 2021 - 1999 Thunder Mountain Cabernet, Bates Ranch, Santa Cruz Mountains.  Wow, this was insanely good!  Like.....one of the best cabs I've ever had good!  Just beautiful notes of pure black cherry, cassis, and a tiny hint of tobacco.  But what really kicks this up to the next level is the acidity.  Truly just waves and waves of mouth watering acidity that has kept this wine incredibly fresh and almost juicy. It honestly stopped me in my tracks when I took the first sip! I could not be happier that I secured 4 bottles of this wine at auction and just hope that the remaining 3 are in the same ballpark as this one! And as always, an extra point for the label ;)
