2019 Château Mauvesin Barton

Good value and really balanced. Nose of dark red fruits and touch of earthy mineral. Palette opens up after 30 minutes in the glass with nice layers of dark fruit cherry and earth. Just a really good deal and great weekday sipper after work.

2019 CrossBarn (Paul Hobbs) Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
1/17/2024 - allenn1999 Likes this wine: 93 Points
Had this at Christmas dinner with prime rib and off the bat the nose was powerful with raspberry blueberry and some mineral notes. Beautiful. Palette was medium to full bodied and had notes of red fruit and some interesting cocoa and mineral. Overall a really good value if you can get it in the low $30s. Most places sell near $50 now and that might be a bit steep but napa cabs these days are all a bit steep for the value. Bought a few just to have some Cali cabs. Excellent wine and I agree with the 92-94 pts from critics.

2016 Del Dotto Cabernet Sauvignon American Oak U-Stave Connoisseurs Series St Helena Mountain Block 2

Second bottle consumed with fam at forgo de chao. Nice nose after opening up a bit with black cherry and some dark chocolate with leather. Better than first bottle with strong flavors of dark berries and complex mineral earth. Also had a 2014 Grand Puy Lacoste side by side and this was better.
