In Vino Veritas (in wine there is truth; people speak the truth when they are drunk), bottles #1,778-82 of my cellar sacrifices. I have gotten behind in my postings and I need to catch them up, hence the 5 wines this time. Rating-wise, the Austin Hope Cabernet and Laurent Pinot were outstanding, with the Barbaresco, Merlot and Grenache behind them. All of them were very good, but the first two were stand outs. 🍷🍷🍷👍👍👍 #wine #winelover #winelovers #redblend #redblendwine ##cabernetsauvignon #napawine #napa #napavalley #napacab #tensley #austinhope #jemrose #cantinadelnebbiolo #sonoma #pinot #pinotnoir #Barbaresco #italianwines

My 2nd and last btl, the nose is absolutely spot on, But it’s a mess from then on-tart unbalance fruit no finish, this is a shame. Nothing will bring this back to the table. Not flawed just not well made. Not a re buy. Don’t drink unless your on a deserted island.

Hard to explain this thing, It just never came together for me, seemed a bit it’s past prime, tired is the word. And tired wine is not a good thing! Drink now.

Peppery, yet well balanced. Looked unfliltered. Good drink.

Still very elegant and well balanced. Not possessing the complexity of red burgundy, but lovely and understated pinot.
