  Group dinner with Marvin (The Kenwood): This wine also seemed like a modern napa cab, and was not consistent with previous Raymond Generations that I've had. Quite straight forward with a lot of fruit, the alcohol is peaking through, and not as much savory qualities.

  Wine weekend in the Twin Cities; 11/10/2022-11/12/2022 (Where the frosty air is refreshing.. kind of): N: Both bright and dark red fruits, clean dry and new oak, subtle earth and a bit of heat.
  
  P: Tons of heat, partially integrated deep earth, dark red and black fruits, a nice warming spice and tea on finish.
  
  The heat makes me wonder am I getting to these wines a little late.. tasted like it was at the right temp, I mean it was ~30° outside, the wine shouldn't have been that much at a warmer temp.

  Friendly get-together - Big CA Wines!: Always a nice wine and shows off the 2016 vintage well....great fruit and enough acid and tannins to age. Drink now for hedonistic pleasure or hold for additional tertiary nuances. Plenty of dark fruit (black and blue) on the nose and palate. Nose also shows some florals and some cedar notes. Mouthfeel is plush and finish is medium. This is a very nice wine, but I enjoyed the Haber HM more! A solid 93 right now, and may get better!

  Dinner with Marvin (The Kenwood, Mpls, MN): Saturated, very dark red/purple color. Drank a small glass over an hour. Young yet showing nicely, Cedar, blackberry, blueberry, lush and fruity, full bodied, balanced. Should be crowd pleaser.

  Pop and pour blind. Young but delicious with fine tannins, some capsicum that quickly blew off, focused but restrained palate of blackcurrant and loamy earth. A beautiful wine that's priced reasonably for its quality and with room for improvement.
