Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine:

Monday, April 6, 2020 - The debut vintage for the Calistoga Cuvee...i've been drinkin these off and on from release, and it has always been a huge qpr wine...one to drink while you wait for the Estate to age into its sweet spot. My last bottle, 5yrs ago, was starting to tire, but hung in there. This bottle seems to be holding up better. Soft, silky, and subtle wine here...a fine claret in style...the fruit is still juicy and somewhat sweet...plum, cherry, currant, cassis...shows a little plum skin sour which kind of freshens up the wine. Very elegant and caressing...just the slightest bit dusty dry tannin left...lovely aged cab flavors of leather, cigar box, wintergreen tobacco, anise...all well integrated and sensual. Great vintage, great producer, great wine!
