2002 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon
10/26/2021 - Coach C. Likes this wine: 91 Points
Downgraded from prior tasting notes in the last 4 months mainly due to the vanilla/oak notes. Also the structure was very good, not excellent - acidity threw it off for me.
Blueberry, black currant, fair amount of vanilla, spice, leather and chocolate.
A lovely wine, don’t get me wrong/.

2004 Promise Cabernet Sauvignon

Magnum
Blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, spice. Opened beautifully over 3 hours - extremely soft and well integrated tannins, acidity medium minus. Very well structured and balanced. Last glass was side by side with a 2002 cult producer and the oak/vanilla on the second wine made me appreciate the Promise much more.

2006 Hundred Acre Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan

Magnum, 2 hour decant.
Overwhelming oak. Succulent fruit and well integrated on the palate. Long finish.
Blind with a 97 Harlan and the oak made the HA a dead give away
