Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 4, 2019 - Intense yet restrained Coombsville Cabernet from a very tiny vineyard. Great balance of ample acidity with 14.4% alcohol, coupled with obvious tannins. Will be stunning after all the elements meld together in 10 or more years. This is a typical Bill Cadman/Tulocay Cabernet, tho the wines are now being made by his daughter Brie.

When I visited, I recall the energy Brie had & the hug from Bill when I was leaving...passion like this is rare in Napa.
What do you think of their Zin?

While Bill's 2017 is, like most, high in alcohol, it is at the same time restrained (as Zinfandel goes) and refined, yielding a Zin that complements rather than overpowers a meal.
