I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 95 points
July 28, 2022 - Guys Night Out - California Dreaming! (Joe's House): PnP - This was another great example of aged Ca Cabs, and living up to their potential! Nose was slightly perfumed and showed dark fruit with graphite, tar, and hints of bramble and cedar. Palate was smooth with tannins resolved and enough acidity to bring out the fruit. I would say this wine is peaking for me, as there was a nice balance between fruit and tertiary flavors. Red fruit (dark cherries) and dark fruit (plum and cassis) dominated the fruit spectrum, while bramble, tar, mint, cigar box and tobacco dominated the tertiary flavors, along with some spice on the finish. A lovely wine! 94 to 95 points and tied for #4 for me.
