  1/15/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 Points

  Retail $50(?). 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot with splashes of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Well, continuing a theme from earlier in the evening, this is a wine that I have not tasted for over a decade. I really liked it back then (92 Points) but I think I like it more now. Plenty of fruit still on the nose with red (raspberry) and black (plum, blackberry) fruit on the nose. Plenty of spice as well with black pepper, clove, and cumin. There is also a distinct herbal aspect--sage, basil, maybe even rosemary? The palate is fruity, balanced, nuanced, and fairly complex with integrated tannins. Really fantastic.

  1/4/2013 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 92 Points

  2009 Baer Winery Callisto ($46) a new bottling of mostly Cabernet (75%) and Merlot (15%) with splashes of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, the wine was shy to show its fruit at first, but clearly well made and built to both last and be served with food. My wife fell in love with it, and I did too. 91-93 points.
