Anomaly Vineyards St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Napa Valley, California

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and very elegant.

Showing blue and black fruits with wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, spices, chocolates and light black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now, although feels a little tight and young. Elegant and rich, but not extracted.

Fruit forward with good structure. Complex and interesting, spicy and entertaining.

Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. Aged in (80% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$235.

Last night's tipple, it was really very good. Unfortunately this vineyard doesn't bottle any more so I only have one left 😭. It's oak aged Cabernet Franc, delicious. #Wjne #LoireWines #CabernetFranc

Heir Apparent Cellars Proprietary Red Wine 2023, Napa Valley, California

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose with red and black fruits, light cedar, earth, chocolates, tobacco leaf, black tea and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, light wood, spices, coffee, herbs, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and licorice.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Nicely balanced, tangy and interesting. Complex and entertaining.

Showing lots of earth notes at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years and see how it evolved.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is much better with age.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with a beautiful nose.

Showing black plums, black currants, cedar, dried figs, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, rhubarb, tobacco leaf, light black tea and black pepper.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 32 year old Pauillac is still drinking beautifully, but a bit past its prime. Rich and elegant. Very complex and spicy.

This Second Growth Bordeaux needed 5 hours to open up properly, and was not that special right out of the bottle.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, and still showing enough fruits to balance the earth notes.

Last night's tipple from Chinon on the Loire. A wonderful Cabernet Franc with deep fruit flavours and still a few tannins after 10 years in the cellar. #Wine #CabernetFranc #LoireWines

Very pretty color of dark ruby with a reddish/brick rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, figs, plums, dried fruits, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, juniper, cedar, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, herbs, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, mediterranean spices, black tea ,herbs and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 27 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking fabulously now. Rich, with great complexity. Elegant and nicely balanced, with a great mouthfeel.

Still drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years. Soft and elegant, with a great nose.

Wine Enthusiasts 94 points. Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 93 points.

I did not decant it, and drank it right out of the bottle. Smooth right away, and even better after 20 minutes of airtime.

Thank you Mike for sharing this with me.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious. Such a great experience to drink history in a bottle.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 3% Cabemet Franc. Aged for 26 months in (90% new) French Oak barrels.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

This 7 year old Red Blend from Napa Valley's Stags Leap District is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward and tasty. Soft, smooth and spicy. Well balanced and complex.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely over the next five to seven years.

Last night's tipple is another local wine , matured in an Ovoide vat for 12 months, and done in a bio-dynamic method. 7 years in the cellar has made it smooth and deliciously fruity. Grape is a Cabernet-Franc. #Wines #CabernetFranc #LoireWines
