2003 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

We decanted the wine for 25 minutes and could not wait any longer. Poured like Jimmi Hendrix purple haze with out the haze. Dark, ruby color, beautiful. First sip was big and jammy, smelled like leather, stone fruit, buck cherry, I mean black cherry, not the band. It made me quote Shakespeare from Sir John "Plumpjack" Flagsaf...
Cheers!

Reminded me of Brach's chocolate covered cherries I used to eat with my grandmother, Anna. The wine had a long finish, decant 1 hour before drinking. Wine opened up with each sip and swirl of the glass! Paired with Kenny’s Zinfandel braised beef short ribs and rutabaga gruyere cheese puree. Fabulous!

2007 Trefethen Pinot Noir

Enjoyed this wine. Was surprised as I dropped this club due to what I felt were marginal wines. Beautiful color and on the nose were allspice or cloves and rasberries. The body was very nice for a pinot and the palate offered more of the allspice or cloves--could not distinguish--with a long finish of rasberries and a touch of smoke.
