2017 Jean Edwards Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Yates Family Vineyard
3/6/2024 - CranBurgundy Likes this wine:
The nose is exactly what I expected from JEC's Yates. On the pop 'n pour, this reminds me of the 2015, being a little more pungent and acidic than the 2014. Don't get me wrong - it's not bad at all! The tannins are not as strong as any of the previous vintages, so this is much more approachable at this stage of it's youth. The usual tasty dark fruit is there, with a little brambly note. The wine seems to have a lighter, but still lengthy, finish than previous vintages also. As always, I'll monitor this over a few days to see how it develops. If the past track record holds true, this will improve with some air.

Not much has changed since my last note, except there was a little more sediment in the decanter and the wine had lost a little color, where the edges were fading / bricking. Still very enjoyable and tasty. If you have any, drink up before it starts a downhill slide.

2018 de Négoce Cabernet Sauvignon OG N.40

Rating at 89 for how it's drinking at this moment, which might be criminal if it comes together like other Diamond Mountain Cabs do after 10 years. Will it? I'm no professional, but it certainly has the stuffing and character to do so. This is a potential 92 - 93 point wine, with dark fruit, sufficient+ acidity, still slightly harsh tannins, and a nice Earthy trait far in the background for now. I'm glad I grabbed several bottles when this was offered.
